Blender is free and able to import .dwg/dxf

Do you know how to convert .PDO Files to ACAD?

Buy pepakura designer to get the 3d model out of non locked files. Then you can import the .obj or whatever you exported it to into Autocad.

I just opened designer, and it has the option to open both .dxf and 3ds files, so you should be good to go.
