The way I've found success in working with AutoCAD files is to set up a
dummy PS printer that prints to a file, and then print the sections of
interest, then use ImageMagick or another tool to operate on the postscript
file. It may not be the most intuitive, but the results look pretty good.
Then again, they're not a primary part of my workflow, and usually just come
up when we need to send stuff to lawyers.

Their are converters for these formats, but as these are vector formats
they are not generally looked after by ImageMagick.
