Autcad to Maya?

A friend asked me if I could import his AutoCAD drawing into Maya and turn it into a 3D model. I told him I wasn't sure, can anyone answer this question for us?

Rather vague :\

When you say turn it into a 3d model you don't mean an automatic process do you?

What's the file extension, DWG? If it is it should be no worries, just go to file>import and select the file you want to load.
