Converting DWG/DWF files for SH3D?
I write this email in fear that this topic has been discussed before, I have never registered or taken part in a web forum but I am struggling to find an answer to my question so thought I should give it a go!

My question is: Is there a program/plug-in/converter which will convert AUTO CAD DWG/DWF objects so I can use them in SH3D?

I work in sales for a company who design, manufacture, integrate and install broadcast systems. We have a team of CAD designers who make our products and studio layouts look great in proposal documents, and having a sales role myself, I have adopted this idea to sweeten (excuse the pun) the proposals I create for clients who purchase 'off-the-self' studio furniture and systems.

I currently use VISIO (as I am not as clever as our CAD designers) to create, to scale, room layouts using some 2D objects our designers have made of the 'off-the-shelf' products we manufacture. Having played with SH3D quite extensively now, I would like to take it up a gear and be able to drop the CAD designed objects somehow into a simple I create wit SH3D.

Our office use AUTO CAD and are happy to help me, but have said they can only export/save the objects which they use as DWF or DWG files.
