Yes, dxf and even dwg will be good additions to MOI down the road. I could could great potential of having dwg since the current ACAD finally has a good rendering engine (3DS's Mental Ray) in it.

Yeah, they are on my radar to work in eventually, but I don't think it will happen for V1.

When it does get implemented it will be for more than just meshes - I'll want to also be able to transfer curves and 2d snapshots as well, so it is a fair amount of work.

For just mesh transfer DXF is not really the best since it only supports polygon meshes with triangles and quads in them, not n-sided polys like .obj does. That's why I picked .obj instead of .dxf for V1. Most things that import DXF also import .obj, but Sketchup appears to be an exception.
