I have PCT ProDESKTOP 2000i2 (a CAD program) and I was just wondering if anyone knew if I could use things I make from that in DB, and If I can, How?

whats the extension of files created in your CAD program? not really sure of what 3D files are supported in DB Pro but in DB Classic it's just .3ds and .x files so i guess you'll need to search on the internet or something for a file converter from your CAD format to .3ds or .x i guess

hehe, I use ProD for some pretty good looking models.

Let me look right now, I've never considered using it for DB (and I definately would advise against it, I will explain in a moment)

OK, stand alone ProD is NOT compatible with DB simply because it cannot make .x objects. You would have to export to vmrl then import that into another program, like 3ds max, and export that to .x. BUT, you SHOULD NOT use ProD because it does not export mapping coordinants. No CAD programs do. This means that when you try to texture your object, well, you wont be able to. It will totally screw up the texture. And even if you dont texture it, the lighting on your object in DB will be VERY bad, ranging from all black to just one color. Personally I use 3ds max at my school for making objects, since I dont want to pirate it at home...
