I think the DXF converter is "sold separately" from Alias. These high-end packages often do that, for example, I think Wavefront's DXF translator is $1200 or so. InterChange for Windows is also beta-able… as they say out here on the prairie, I'm "chomping at the bit" to get it out. Trust me, when it's ready, I'll be trumpeting from the rooftops, and of course I'll send you a copy. I've always given away the translation software to the commercial modeling companies, it's good business. Your customers are my customers! As for Alias, we've recently added support for their relatively unknown quad/tri format. This lets us get into Alias with both hierarchy and texture names. It'll be part of InterChange for Windows. (But the bundling and pricing issues haven't resolved.)
