OBJ Export for AutoCAD - Wavefront OBJ file export plug-in for AutoCAD
OBJ Export for AutoCAD
is a Wavefront (.obj) file export plug-in for AutoCAD®. This plug-in
gives AutoCAD the ability to export geometric data from AutoCAD to ASCII
and Binary OBJ files.
OBJ
Export for AutoCAD extracts facet data from 3D Face, Polygon Mesh,
PolyFace Mesh and 3D Solid objects in the active AutoCAD drawing and
exports it to a OBJ file. 3D Solids are tessellated into triangular
faces. The level of tessellation can be controlled by adjusting the
resolution slider in the OBJ Export for AutoCAD options dialog
box. A lower resolution will yield coarse meshes (lesser faces), whereas
a higher resolution will result in finer meshes (more faces).
OBJ
Export for AutoCAD is very easy to use. Once installed, it must be
loaded into the AutoCAD environment. There are simple instructions for
this in the ReadMe file. Once loaded it adds new commands to AutoCAD's
existing commands and a new submenu called "OBJExport" to the AutoCAD
menu containing these newly added commands.
OBJ
Export for AutoCAD comes with detailed documentation as well as a
tutorial to get you started in
the shortest possible time.

need any additional information please

The OBJ
File Format
The OBJ
file format is a geometry definition file format first developed by
Wavefront Technologies for its Advanced Visualizer animation package.
The file format is open and has been adopted by other 3D graphics
application vendors, making it a universally accepted geometry file
format. The OBJ file format is a simple data format that represents 3D
geometry alone - namely, the position of each vertex, the texture
coordinate associated with a vertex, the normal at each vertex, and the
faces that make each polygon.
