Hi,
You might check with these folks: http://www.savagesoftware.com/
They have a good handle on CAD DWG to svg/xml. I think the problem
may be which database technology are the DWG files using, internal objects
or external links. Some AutoCAD files make use of a db like Oracle to back
their graphics attributes and some use internal objects that are part of the
dwg itself. As I recall dxf can be used to get at some types of object
attributes. That would be an easier translate process.
Having a lot of feature attributes in svg might not be a good idea
though, so the better solution is to translate an id link to each feature
and add an external database to the solution. (which is why AutoCAD
provides for that type of linkage as well) Unfortunately this is a bit of
custom effort loading the attributes to something like MySQL,
PostgreSQL,.... and then writing server code to tie together the svg id and
the db table id. Svg becomes just one more view part of MVC. The model is
your db and you need to supply the controller part in an http server.

document
Hi,
Looks like that question's been around for a while.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=554826&messageID=2981945
I haven't done dwg in a long time, but the last time I looked, AutoCAD
was the only one that had a complete implementation (being their
format and all). If you can get the same data into DXF format you
might have better luck.
