Linking dwg files to Maya

pixel8 · June 11th, 2007

Hi all

I'm a big fan of Maya and am slowly trying to preach to a Viz based office here. My background in Maya is more character modelling based.

One of the big pluses of Viz is that you can link the autocad dwg file into Viz so that as the dwg is updated this is reflected in Viz. Is this possible in Maya?

Thanks

Paul

With referencing the DWG into your scene you can have a similair effect.
