Hmm the only thing i can think of is if you already have them converted to DXF then there is a Batch DXF convert utility im sorry but i dont know much about the other software you have does it possibly have batch conversion process or possibly couold it be opened by another cad software and be converted inderectly???

its a start

RE: cascade graphics systems?

Try a third party software like
Camtastic (http://www.camtastic.com)
if your Cascade does a dxf out you might
be able to have Camtastic (or other such
software) then create a new dxf that your
autocad can read.

Another thought.
Check with Artwork Conversion Software, Inc.  www.artwork.com ; They may have a converter
for you or will do a batch convert for you.
