The topics in this section describe how to share files with AutoCAD and other programs that use the DWG format.
The DWG file is the primary, native file format of drawing files created by AutoCAD, Autodesk Revit, and AutoCAD Architecture, AutoCAD Mechanical, and so on. It is a binary format used for importing and exporting AutoCAD drawing files.
You can also use the File Link Manager to create a live link between a drawing file that can be open in AutoCAD or Revit and 3ds Max. Changes that are made to the drawing can automatically be updated in 3ds Max without having to reload scenes or re-import drawings.
You can find more information about using the DWG format with Revit in this white paper.
