Not owning either program I can only make this suggestion.
DEGAS saves it's file with the resolution tacked on to the filename
extension. For example  xxxxxxxx.PI3 for monochrome (PI2 and PI1 for medium
and low rez).

Try renaming the CAD 3D file from xxxxxxxx.3D to xxxxxxxxx.PI {1 | 2 | 3}

For monochrome foo.3d becomes foo.pi3.

Hope this helps
