I know of no program that will convert .dwg files to pov syntax
but there are several that will handle .dxf and 3ds files both
of which are export options from AutoCad. Two of the best available
are :
CrossRoads 3D at:
http://www.europa.com/~keithr/crossroads/
and
3DWin at:
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/thbaier/tools.htm
They also can convert many other 3D model formats
so they are both quite versitle. 3DWin has more direct
support for Moray so you might want to look at it first.
Also Thomas Baier is a regular here in the groups so if
you have import problems Author accessibility is convienent.
