Why would you want dimensions for pcb, screen, battery, etc?

Regarding the format, the original is in Pro/Engineer Assembly (.asm)  
and Part (.prt) files. That's probably hard to digest for any FOSS CAD  
software.
Besides DXF, any other preference?
Or does anyone know what format Pro/Engineer can export to where both  
during export in Pro/E as well as import in a common FOSS CAD software  
not too much information/precision is lost?

Thanks,
Wolfgang
