SRT,
In the newer versions, you can just simply open AutoCad files, as well as many other formats. Dwg., Dxf., Iges., are just a few, and I know Solidworks, Parasolids, and CATIA, as well. You can import and export many different formats. FeatureCam is excellent with 4th Axis rendering and will do 5th Axis as well. I don't know if you have been to their site, but you can download a free evaluation copy of the 2004 version and see for yourself. It won't let you save your work or generate G Code but you can at least grafically see what it looks like and simulate tool paths.
