There are different ways to make conversion.
You can do a PDB->VRML conversion using RasMol or other softwares, and
then VRML->3ds/dxf.
Depending on what chemical tool you use make first conversion, you can
get ribbons, cartoons, CPK and so on...
Second step will be the most difficult, I think, because at my knowledge
there are no free tools to do that.
Here you can find few links:

http://www.okino.com/conv/imp_pdb.htm Shareware tool to
convert directly
PDB->3ds/dxf (some limiatations)
If you find some free stuff to do everithing, please let me know.
ciao,
Stefano
p.s. ...and you can post some snapshots of final product :)
