Thanks everyone,
Algodoo is perfect! Very simple yet useful.

there is something called dxf2phun, which should convert a dxf file into an algodoo readable.

it's a pretty straight forward, drag&drop application. the output is a script(thyme), which you can paste into algodoo (shortcut F10 in algodoo brings down the console window). i did use it with some older versions of algodoo, but as i can recall, dxf2phun is quite picky regarding the geometry it's been fed. i had more luck with svg2phun

via. uniconverter(ai to svg), as there is no native SVG export option in MOI.
