I have been looking for a DXF-to-SVG converter. I notice there is a RFE for directly importing into Inkscape (#1062140), but perhaps an input converter program would actually fulfil the role quite well. Although there exists dxflib for reading DXF as an open-source project (http://dxflib.sourceforge.net/), no-one has written an SVG outputter based on this, which seems a shame. All the other converters I could find are commercial paid-for software. If I had more spare time, I'd write a DXF-to-SVG converter app. based on dxflib...
Ah, good idea.
It seems as though there's a bunch of input/output converter extensions that various people need. Unfortunately, not very many developers are working on converters. Does anyone have some ideas for ways we could stimulate interest in developing these converters?
