Good luck. There are already lots of good mechanical CAD packages out there. And *none* of them have good ACAD <-> [insert your favorite CAD package here] file conversion. Autocad (purposely) makes sure it's a moving and non-documented target with each new release. I'd much rather Protel spent their time doing the business they are in -- making the best PCB design entry and layout tools possible for the lowest price possible.
