AutoCAD drawings (DWG) are supported in pretty much any CAD/3D modeling tool and same goes for 3ds Max. It should be possible to use .dwg files for the making new files, for example 3D scene files (.a3s). If you have issues with such export, it would be perhaps best to contact Autodesk support or some community website.

The table with program actions contains information about what each program is capable of doing with their files. This may be a good pointer for further searches for certain file conversions and help you find the converter you are looking for if our search result is insufficient for you. However, it is far from perfect and may sometimes show results which are not really usable because of the nature of the software handles the files. So a conversion that appears as possible, just because of matched actions, may in fact not be possible.

DWG
Files with dwg extension are used for the original CAD format originally introduced in Autodesk AutoCAD. The latest version of DWG format is usuaually proprietary and can only be created in AutoCAD. Other CAD programs can usually import it but not create its proprietary form. Because of this, DWGs are often exported to DXF interchange format so that they can be seamlessly used in other CAD programs.
A3S
Files with a3s extension are used for programs developed by Autodesk company. They include graphics data.
