3.   Once open, go to "file", "export" then select a location and name for your file. Most importantly, select the file format as either AutoCAD dwg, or dxf (doesn't matter which). You will be prompted as to which version of AutoCAD (2004 or 2000 being the most common). Make sue all the boxes are ticked then click "ok".

4.   Open your version of AutoCAD. Find and open the file you have just created.

It's easiest to work with from one of the isometric views - "view", "3d views", "sw isometric" for example.

5.   Normally it is exported as a block, explode this only once. This should leave the block as made up as a series of individual meshes which normally will relate to groups of materials (for instance, the tires will be part of one mesh, the windscreen and windows part of another etc. Without picking a command, simply touch objects so the grips appear thus showing you the grouping.

You will notice that there may be other miscellaneous objects exported alongside, simply delete those that are not necessary. Select the whole of the remaining objects and make them "bylayer in colour"
