I'm probably going to try that for V2. But it is odd that Autodesk won't support .3ds format since it is their own format, and also dxf and dwg have some even worse limitations in them for meshes than .3ds - .3ds is limited to 65535 points or faces in a single mesh object, and DXF/DWG is limited to 32767 points or faces in a single mesh object.

So if they don't want to support "limited" formats, that would mean they shouldn't read in DXF and DWG files either!! :)

It would be better if these programs supported the Wavefront .obj format, since it does not have any mesh size limits in it. I think if you look around there are some .obj importers for AutoCAD available.
