[Qgis-us-user] Alternatives to Safe FME

[Randal Hale]

So - I don't know if I have any great suggestions.

I have used Autodesk's True View (free download) to convert DWG files 
into an earlier version - but - not sure why QGIS isn't seeing them. I 
now it tends to run behind a few iterations of Autocad. You could 
convert to DXF.

I've been seeing carlson more and more but have not tried to convert 
their XML files to another format. I'm not super sure where to start 
there. I guess considering the size possibly ripping the xml apart in 
your favorite text editor.
