On a related matter (hence posted to dev) I know I have some CAD files that have data in them that I could use in OSM. The CAD data wont mesh with the nodes and ways format of OSM but it wouldnt be too difficult to extract just layers from the CAD that would be a reasonable match. Are there any tools for converting say dxf to get data into OSM?
