Possible software with support for converting of ai files to cad file format.
ai to cad conversion can actually mean two different things, but it's often just a general question about the possibility of exporting from Adobe Illustrator to 'CAD' format, often DXF or DWG format.
Since Illustrator works with vector graphics, export to SVG/DXF is one of the core functions, either directly or with the help of any CAD tool and SVG format as exchange format.
As for specific .cad files, these come from BobCAD-CAM and the software offers no support for direct import of AI files. Most sources on the Internet agree that using the SVG/DXF format to facilitate the exchange is the best workaround.
