The problems in using such a system is that graphic information in different systems was different. (duh) Problems arise when one system can only use numbers for layer naming or colors which are usually identified by numbers are different between systems. Or "layers" may be called "levels" in another system. This only a few things that can be different between CAD programs.
So, in essence, these formats became filters. They only seemed to work well when two different cad programs used similar graphic information criteria. Also, the conversions only seemed to work as well as the conversion software. Most of these conversions were custom-made third party software that were granted rights to access the CAD databases. Which may have worked well at one level but, when either cad system went through an upgrade the conversion may have became outdated. The other thing is some CAD systems did not want to devulge the way they kept their databases (graphic information)
I hope this was of some help. Good Luck!!
