   This is an Autocad application that will export all selected
   geometry except ACIS solid modelling entities. ACIS solids
   are only supported by the version included with Rayfront (note
   that DR only converts a very limited subset of of ACIS, Rayfront
   does the full thing).

   Standalone application available for several platforms. No ACIS
   support at all, since that would require the use of expensive 3rd
   party libraries.
