Exporting Pipe Data From C2 into Plant3D

Hi Everyone!

We are attempting to export piping data from Caesar II into AutoCAD Plant3D. We use PLANTPCFEXPORT with PLANTPCFUNICODE turned off to successfully export our models to CAESAR II, but it would be great to have a way to do the reverse, although my research isn't turning much up.

Findings so far:
CAESAR II Let you export models into .txt, .xml, and .accbd but Plant3D does not accept any of these formats as far as I am aware.
Autocad P3D accepts many files, ACIS (.sat), CATIA, IGES, Inventor, SolidWorks, JT, Metafile, etc. but I cannot seem to find a link between what CAESAR II exports and AutoCAD can import. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Best,
Connor
