ya man...i read your post...
but one thing for sure....there must be an easier way to deal with this problem other than your complicated conversion series.....
i searched thru the net for a plugin and found one....in fact let me just post it here...but i couldn't start it out....i pretty much did all the instructions....but i really got lost there...and reached some sort of a block way....
here it is.....
but if there anybody got the maya 6.0 eddition ...hope that they can post the plugin file that's installed in the directory itself....i think that it might be the solution for all of this....in fact i have the maya 6.0 cd but i really dont wanna go over uninstalling the 7.0 version and installin the 6.0 then undoin the whole operation .... it will take too much time .... and im not 100% sure that it will work after all....
here is the directory if anybody can help(maya 6.0 users):
C:\Program Files\Alias\Maya6.0\bin\plug-ins\(the plugin's name i think "dwg/dfx plugin" something like that...)

and here is the plugin that i have found ... if anybody got a clue for how to activate it please HIT US BACK...
