after i surfed to many of forums, i got this answer...that on maya 2010, the dwgTranslator.mll file has removed from the plug-in manager. on any of forums also wrote that if we want to import the DWG file, we must check the DIRECTCONNECT in the plug in manager. in my default, it was. but it still error if i imported the DWG file into my maya. on the script editor wrote: file -import -type “DWG_DC” -gr -ra true -namespace “lantai_empat_maya” -pr -loadReferenceDepth “all” “F:/AUTOCAD/METRO ATOM REVISI/lantai_empat_maya.dwg”;
// Error: Failed to find translator. //
// Error:  //
// Error: Error reading file. //

it’s still needed a translator anyway…
what should i do? help me pliz…

Autodesk Directo Connect for Maya plugin.

Free download.

Hey all,

DirectConnect for Mac OSX does not support DWG files. Autodesk dropped the support for it which is a shame as I need it badly too (and the manual of DirectConnect 2011 still claims it does but it is wrong).

The only option you got is to open it on a Windows box and save it into a Maya file which you can open then on your Mac.

cheers,
Frederic

I’ve tried to load Direct Connect for Mac to transfer files from Autocad to Maya 2012. However current version of DC does not work with OS 10.7 Lion. Amazing that one can’t transfer 3D cad files from ACAD to Maya. Both coming from the same company
