create library objects with mechanical cad

[tecnico_plast]

Bye to all,
I do not use archicad, so I apologize in advance if the question I ask is banal:

I should create objects, drawing them with a mechanical cad, which then should be part of an archicad library. Is that possible?

in which format can you save them? and what program do you use?

 

[tecnico_plast]

I use pro/e but I could also use inventor, saving in iges or step.

if design with autocad............. how can I create an object for the archicad library?

@technico plast: I have no experience with those formats, I'm sorry. There was a modeler, shark using blender to save files so they could use them as objects on archicad. you will also find the tutorial. I don't know if for the programs you use you can do something similar.

@lau ra: archicad can manage the 3ds, said this, I do not see why never do objects on autocad and not directly on archicad.

ok thank you, I saved with pros in different formats (including .obj, .wrl, .u3d), as soon as I know something I will let you know.

tried, from pro/e does not work any format, tonight I try with inventor, or I try with a converter for 3ds and then amount in archicad.
