I'm nearly finished (semi-)debugging a utility I wrote for myself, since I
like to use AutoCAD R14 to model. Everybody's problem, however, is that
there are no DXF converters that will convert AutoCAD solid primitives. I
have worked around that problem (not solved it) by using an AutoLISP file in
conjuction with my converter.
Features:
1) Toolbar & menu to use in AutoCAD
2) Full support for all primitives (CSG) with LISP file
3) Support for 3DFaces
4) Creates camera, sky vector and look_at paths or points
5) Support for lights
6) Support for blocks: each block is written to an .inc file and
included in the final
7) Creates a texture .inc file based on layer settings
If anyone would be interested, please let me know, otherwise I will not
bother making it even a little bit use friendly.

I am interested and I believe Marc Schimmler will be as well. I don't know
how many other Acad 14 users there are out there but there at least two of
us.

I could become an AutoCAD user, if necessary... (Thank you, Piracy!)
PS: This was just a joke. BSA, keep away...

Will it work with AutoCAD R12 or R13? Those are the two versions I have
access to.

Well, I don't own Autocad R14 but may have access to it. On the other
hand I model my POV ray material most of the time by hand or if needed
by sPatch. Anyway this tool might become very handy!
All the Best,
Marc

Well, I haven't had a chance to test it on R12 or R13, but I'm sure it would
work.

Yes I think it would be very cool. Just getting into raytracing and have
access to several versions of AutoCAD R13, R14, and R2000. I hope it works
in R2000. I was just going to ask if there was any way to export autocad
solids into an input file for povray.

A friend of mine still uses AutoCAD alot, I think I'd like to have a look at
what you've done. I'd like to give some exporting a try, maybe even expose the
AutoCAD users group to POV... if they aren't already using it.
