CAD into Maya 2012

Hi there,

I'm really struggling... we used to have someone here who could use Maya but he left, so this seems to have fallen at my feet.... eeeeekkkk!

I have a CAD drawing (generated in 3DS) (.dwg & .dxf) and I just can't get it imported into Maya - just freezes.

I've opened it in Illustrator (obviously not much good to me) and exported it to .ai & .eps and can't import that either.

Today got the following suffixes: .fbx and .obj and the same thing.

I have direct connect plugin turned on.

What next, I am lost here. Even if we have to get some other software to get to it and then get it into Maya... Any advice/help is greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,
Sarah
