Hi Ryan,

The shape is represented in AutoCAD as a SPLINE. It will not import just into VUE, but will not import into AMAPI nor HEXAGON. That leads me to suspect that a spline is not a definable entity in the 3DS file format.

I suggest that you create a surface of that shape in MS, export that to AutoCAD and then to 3DS. That process has always worked for me.
