Hi Rusty, if you need to get just a few reference points like you know something is a circle and you want to draw a circle in MOI there, you can use this OBJ to 3DM Wireframe converter:

That will bring in the triangle mesh model as wireframe lines in MOI and you can snap to them.

Yes, there is some software that is specialized to do this task of "Reverse engineering". But good ones can be in the $10,000 range and still have a high learning curve.
The feasibility does depend on things like what type of objects you need to process. If they're mechanical shapes and you want to extract a few lines and circles that could be possible but if it's a complex organic non-mechanical shape that's much different territory.
