For 2D you can "Save As..." and select either .dwg or .dxf file types.

For 3D, try "Save As..." and select ACIS (*.sat). This can then be imported into AutoCAD using the "Insert" menu, and selecting "ACIS File...".

Good luck.

Make sure to click Options when doing the Save As ACIS (*.sat) file type and select v7 or earlier. Autodesk products only read up to v7 ACIS for the past couple releases since they went to Shape Manager.
