We have good success with Okino's Polytran.

Have you tried SketchUp? It can export XSI as well as FBX, DAE, and more.

I’m personally not a fan of Simlab products as I’ve always found
them them introduce glitches into exports (the SketchUp plugins
are the exception but still have their own peculiarities).
Not sure if anybody else has mentioned this but MOI is worth a try
and it’s pretty cheap too ($295).
http://moi3d.com/
It’s created by the original designer of Rhino (Michael Gibson)
but I’ve always found that the exports are better than Rhino
itself The downside is that it’s not 64bit yet (coming very soon)
so it can’t cope with really large multi component CAD assets but
it’s a fantastic CAD tool to add to your armoury full stop never
mind using it for it’s excellent conversion capabilities.
Fully functional 30 day demo if I remember rightly, so it’s worth
a try.

just tried the trail for simlab on an export
it seems to have issues, looks like the connecting nurb meshes
are cleaner, just some parts are fairly noisy, and still non
manifold issues
would probably be easier if I didn't have to actually set up UV's
for this thing. the maya UV tools don't work on these
non-manifold things
although it seems if I import an obj over and fbx, mesh - cleanup
doesn't mess up the object normals, so that's weird
doing maya 2017 update 4, maybe something will be fixed
also
does anyone know if the cheaper simlab composer pro $200 is all
that's needed for exporting files?

Guys, I've been dealing a lot with CAD files lately, one
of the most plug&play solution is to export the file from
you CAD software ( I usually use JT ) and import
everything into SimLab and from there export in FBX...its
surprisingly fast and I never had export problems, except
for CAD files using Nurbs surfaces, but I haven't tested
Rhino yet, so you can give it a try with the 14 days trial.
