Both of you should agree on a common tool.  Is Dia available on windows?  I
think it might be?

Ah, so it's a customer dictating Visio.

I'd bite the bullet and get Visio.  On wine, win4lin, vmware, qemu or a PC
running Windows.

Usually CAD data doesn't translate to other formats well.  The native format
usually has something that doesn't translate that well.  One vendor, CADkey,
used the IGES (?) standard as its native format to try to get around some of
this.  I think QCad uses DXF in its case.
