I just tried AutoCad 360:
In fact, it is a player integrated into the web browser that allows viewing, sharing, annotation and printing but not exporting...

Hi, have you tried with Blender (free) to import the 3D DXF and then export it to a better format? Here is the extension to import the 3D DXFs: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.4/Py/Scripts/Import/DXF-3D

Otherwise we can try with FreeCAD with this method: http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7434&p=60210#p60210
Or GrabCAD Workbench which is now free (to see if it accepts 3D DXF):

Grabcad Workbench does not support conversion.

This add-in has been included in Blender since version 2.43. Just download a recent version.
Note(s)
It is included in Blender 2.43 - 2.49.

"Download as neutral format
Save a Workbench CAD file in a neutral (STEP, IGES, STL) format even if it's uploaded in a proprietary format."
For grabcad:
The download as function is not available for DXF. If I try on an sw file it works.
For Blender:
In fact, you have to activate the module in User Preferences/Addons and then check the
Then in Import I can now select dxf. But nothing visible except for the appearance of the tree.
Sincerely, thank you all for your involvement.
I think the problem comes from the fact that my files are from an old version of MDT.
Despite contact with Autocad and numerous tests. I don't have any solutions.
