hi Landon
Unfortunately not. Turns out there's some very strong feelings about the
sharing of geographic data in Jordan, and we're not operating there at this
moment (we've moved to the West Bank).

Mikel,
Would you be
willing to send me your DXF file so I can test it in OpenJUMP?
Landon

Thanks for the advice everyone.
With a DXF in hand, I broke down and installed lx-Viewer on a windows drive.
That was able to export to PNG, which I uploaded to the MapWarper and warped
with GCP against Landsat. I used the WMS generated from that in JOSM, and I
know have a georeferenced image for tracing into OpenStreetMap.

I tried OpenJump with the DXF plugin, but encountered a bug .. in the file or
the plugin I don't know.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Number of points must be 0 or >3
Also with CAD2Shape, another windows tool, was able to get some Shapefiles
exported.
A lot of places in the world use CAD for making maps. I'm not sure these are
always georeferenced at all. Converting this into something usable for
OpenStreetMap isn't straightforward, but something myself and a couple others
are looking at.

OpenJUMP currently has a plug-in that will read DXF files, if that will
do the trick.

There was one support for that in Jump; a user ported to code to uDig
(but since it was GPL we did not end up distrubuting it). I would ask
the OpenJump project to see if they know what happened to it...
