CAD Support in ArcGIS Explorer

One of the great oversites in ArcGIS Explorer is the lack of support for CAD (dgn, dxf, dwg) data. This would be really nice to have.

Agree support for CAD data would make the product much more useful

CAD data can be supported by using ArcGIS Desktop to read the CAD features and export to another format for use in Explorer.

Is a surprise this is not a feature yet!!! I our case we need a way to let customer service representatives know if CAD files provided by the tax payers are in the correct location and coordinate system so the cartographic department can do the corresponding editing tasks a lot more efficient.
