I'd agree with StefkeB, excepting that, since Autocad2pov is lisp-based,
something working fully within Autocad would probably be better.

Would love to see Icad2pov devloped more - especially some way of adding
booleans to it using the power of Povray. But, perhaps, this has already
been discussed before - and I really don't have any new suggestion  on
implementing it at present.

Good luck, though, FWIW.
