Autodesk FBX SDK is a free* C++ software development kit (SDK) that lets you create plug-ins, converters, and other applications that use Autodesk FBX technology. With FBX you can translate and exchange 3D assets and media from a variety of sources quickly and easily. The SDK is available for Windows, OSX, iOS, and Linux operating systems, which enables software and hardware vendors to add support for the FBX format.

Hello, I have the same issue. I downloaded the installation file from the main page and installed as usual on my PC (Windows 64bit) and then I just have an icon and cannot run anything. Tried several times also with older versions of Autodesk FBX Converter. Any ideas? Am I missing something too?

I don't know exactly where you downloaded the Fbx Converter installer. I suppose it is from the archived page: -network/platform-technologies/fbx-converter-archives. But, even if you manage to properly install it. The last version is 2013 so you will not be able to read more recent FBX files and the tool is practically useless (unless you are only working with older files!).

If you have a little bit of programming experience, I suggest you download the FBX SDK and in the samples folder there is the sample ConvertScene. This is a command line tool that takes one input file and generate several output files. But with a simple tweak you can probably make it to take one input and one output file and do the conversion.

I've just downloaded and installed the Windows version of FBX SDK twice and both times there is no icon to click on to launch the program/converter on my desktop nor an executable in the directory it was installed. Am I missing something?

first of all, Autodesk does not offer a conversion from FBX to an .skp file. Maybe the Sketchup developers have a way of converting an FBX file to their native format. This being said, the Converter you mention (in the Converter archives section) is a 7 years old product and is not maintained anymore. It should still run (maybe try to install as 'administrator' in case Windows is blocking something) but, even if you succeed, you will not be able to read the recent FBX files.

I need to open a received DWG-file into Designer, but never used that file format before. Unfortunately Designer doesn't support DWG and according to a six years long open request thread elsewhere on this forum no support would be expected in the near future.

Anybody here got a workaround to convert DWG to a vectorfile Affinity can import (Preferably SVG or PDF)? Any experiences with installable desktop converter tools either payed or free that can do this? Would it really be a one to one conversions, and/or are there differences in versions in the DWG fileformat I should be aware of (or things that could get lost during a conversion)?

[edit] Just did a quick test with AutoDWG (DWG to SVG Converter) to convert the DWG to SVG and than open it in Designer and that seems to work. But it's generating huge files with very inefficient conversions to vectors in the svg (could very well be inefficient in the original though). I'm not experienced in the DWG fileformat, don't know about DWG file format versions/compatibilities issues and at the moment I am not familiar with the original design as I can't view the DWG. So not sure if I am missing something in the export. So still open for experiences on the best workflow or things to take into account!
