With Automation license, you will be able to call a function from your plugin (on the same host application) and export the file without requiring a user intervention.
Advantages of Automation Licence are:
“ProtoTech solutions offer very versatile products. We use OBJ converter to take engineered conceptual 3D models out of AutoCAD into an OBJ format that is PhotoShop friendly to generate photo-realistic simulations. I have not found another product on the market that makes the process as easy as ProtoTech’s OBJ Converter. Proto Tech has friendly and fast customer support as well when needed!”
–Patrick McNerney, 3D Design & Engineering, Inc, USA
“I have been using ProtoTech OBJ Exporter for a few weeks now and found it to be extremely useful. Now that AutoCAD 2019 no longer supports .fbx exporting, ProtoTech has filled that hole nicely. It’s quick and easy. I highly recommend it.”
–Jeff Beck, Set Designer (USA)
“Thank you ProtoTech for your excellent Solution – OBJ Exporter AutoCAD! It’s very intuitive to use. Exporting concept models is very methodical and lucid for non-engineers. Thanks for the great support. This seems to be exactly what we needed, the material names from AutoCAD show up in the mtl.”
–Expedient B.V. (Netherlands)
“I’ve already bought the plugin and it’s magical! No more problems exporting from Autocad… no more FBX or 3DS bad translations! I love it!”
–Fabrizio Denna, www.elettronova.it (ITALIA)
“I bought the OBJ exporter for AutoCAD from ProtoTech. These folks not only have a great product, but a great attitude and trust!”
–Michael Kölsch, CEO – craniMAX GmbH
“In AEC industry the 3D data capture, processing and representation in the 3D environment is a prerequisite for any BIM project. I was pleasantly surprised by the ease at which the OBJ Exporter plugin for AUTOCAD by ProtoTech Solutions was able to output the .obj format with all the 3D elements as separate objects. I was then able to import the 3D model in Faro scene which was great as the overlay not only was possible with the point cloud but the photos taken by the scanner to produce an environment that mirrored augmented reality. The OBJ plugin was intuitive and provided a great quality model within Faro scene software.”
– Ian Grant, Senior Part-Time Lecturer, University of the West Indies, St Augustine Campus.
“I’ve been using the “Obj exporter for AutoCAD” plugin for a couple of weeks now, and I Love It! I’m an old-school AutoCad designer who relies on its solid modeling platform. To finally be able to effortlessly export CAD data to an .OBJ format is a game-changer for me and has streamlined my ability to merge my design data with my point cloud data inside other software platforms. Functionally, it couldn’t be easier to load and utilize. It’s super straightforward! I will certainly turn to Prototech if I find myself in need of additional plugins.”
