We always use MAX to convert... but because the dotXSI exporter doesn't
export curves (or if it does, I have no idea how), it keeps transforming
the curves as solid mesh (like an extrude circle on curve), its useless
to us in XSI... so we end up taking a snapshot of the CAD drawing in
MAX, and recreating the lines in XSI...

If anyone has a better solution, I'd really love to know.

Thanks Guys,
That might be the way to go, though we have a copy of Max7, so we're 
trying that route.
I'm never too happy taking stuff through Max. What comes out is usually 
screwed up in some way.
