Beter news, there is even GRASS plugin / addon using LibreDWG It imports dwg files as vector data. The plugin is in grass-addons/vector/v.in.redwg
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libredwg/2010-08/msg00007.html I wonder if you can get this plugin and put it in the grass plugins for QGIS. How does the QGIS Grass plugin works with GRASS plugin / addon?
