Adobe Illustrator (part of Adobe Photoshop) uses .svg files and can export &nbsp;to .dxf files.<br />
<br />
Another option maybe Autodesk's Maya program that claims to support both formats.<br />
<br />
That is the best information I could find - I don't use either of these programs. &nbsp;Hope this helps.

I need to be able to convert an SVG file containing a PATH into a DXF file. The trick is that the path contains ARC segments (in SVG these are specified by end point and radii with the start point being the current cursor position).<br />
<br />
Can someone point me to either a conversion tool which will convert one of these PATHs to a POLYLINE in a DXF file or alternatively to a specification of the DXF format so that I may write some code to build a converter myself?<br />
<br />
I have some code fragments which will let me build a DXF file with a polyline which consists of straight lines but unfortunately does not handle arcs. I could extend this code if I can get hold of the syntax that is used in DXF for describing ARCs which make up part of a polyline.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />
<br />

SVG to DXF conversion

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer systems to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. CAD output is often in the form of electronic files for print, machining, or other manufacturing operations. CAD software for mechanical design uses either vector-based graphics to depict the objects of traditional drafting, or may also produce raster graphics showing the overall appearance of designed objects. As in the manual drafting of technical and engineering drawings, the output of CAD must convey information, such as materials, processes, dimensions, and tolerances, according to application-specific conventions.
