OBJ Import for AutoCAD is a Wavefront (.obj) file import plug-in for AutoCAD®. This plug-in gives AutoCAD the ability to import geometric data from ASCII and Binary OBJ files.

OBJ Import for AutoCAD reads polygon mesh data stored in OBJ files and imports it into AutoCAD. A polygon mesh in an OBJ file is comprised of a set of triangular/quad faces. OBJ Import for AutoCAD recreates the polygon meshes in an OBJ file inside the active AutoCAD drawing. The model can be recreated as set of points, lines, polylines, 3D faces or a polyface mesh.

OBJ Import 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 "OBJImport" to the AutoCAD menu containing these newly added commands.

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.
