    As Nathan said, there isn't an ability to import them into AutoCAD, but,
    they can be saved to dwg from within Visio.

    If you can't get them saved, there is a free viewer out there for them,
    so at least you can see the contents.

    picture files are linked not embedded into dwg
    files so you would need to supply the other files and they may have to relink
    them.

    Not sure how they would come out of
    Visio
