Hello markoh!
I have found a page that lists several converters. You can check the
list for yourself at the following address
3D Software
http://www.3dlinks.com/software_converters.cfm
As you can see, in the description of each program you can find what
formats they import and what formats they export. In your case, I
suppose you're mainly interested in converting from .3ds to .dxf. The
best programs appear to be the first two in the list: PolyTrans and
Deep Exploration. Anyway, you may download the demos and see which one
you like best (or which one you can afford :-) ). 3DWin (the 4th in
the list) is a cheap alternative to those, and can convert from 3ds
into dxf.
Another cheap alternative to some of the programs in that list
(Polytrans, for example, costs $395) is CtrlView, which can convert
from 3ds to dxf, for only $29.95.

Google search terms used:
convert "3d studio max" cad dxf 3ds
I hope this helps. If this is not what you were looking for, please
request a clarification before rating my answer, as I'll be more than
happy to provide more information. Otherwise, I await your rating and
final comments.
Best wishes!

I'm very sorry that you don't consider these links to be enough. The
list provided in the first link I mentioned is very comprehensive:
every conversion program I've come across while searching the web
turned out to be already listed in that site. I don't think there are
many other programs that are not included there, as I've done a really
thorough search. If this helps you, I'll list here the programs that
are actually useful for you (i.e., they convert .3ds to .dxf). The
links to download them are in the link I provided in my answer.
Crossroads (freeware)
quick3d
Polytrans
Deep Exploration
3DWin
AccuTrans 3D
Materialize 3D!
ResErect
Turboviewer
I've checked each of these software's home pages to ensure that they
perform the conversion you need. So there's 9 programs , plus
CtrlView, that makes it 10 programs. If you still consider this list
to be incomplete, please let me know.
Best wishes,
elmarto
