Why not, export your CAD document to *.eps format. Include your
graphics with the command:

  \includegraphics[<options>]{foo.eps}

where options can be a comma separated list:

 width=dimension
 height=dimension
 scale=number (where 1=100%)

If you omit options, the graphic will have natural size. Width and
height can be provided as variables like .5\linewidth (so that the
width will be half of your linewidth), \textheight respectively.

LaTeX only accepts eps file format. So you need to convert all your
graphic files into eps format. But pdfLaTeX (a TeX variant that pipes
pdf output directly) supports file formats viz., *.tif, *.png, *.jpg,
*.pdf and *.mps (metapost).

where you can find all the 17 chapters of the so far covered free
online tutorial on LaTeX of the Indian TeX Users Group (there is a
good chapter on graphic inclusion).
