Maybe include translation of their existing data in your job proposals...

If your the one to translate most of their existing data as needed as well as new data then it would justify to include the "translation software and both engines" in your quote.

Offer more service and have them pay for the software.

The neat thing about CAD software is that data that has gone through translation software still has to be to be checked and massaged or cleaned up by CAD operators that know what they are doing.

The support of two data formats definately increases your costs...pass the bill along to them. Let them know how much supporting multiple formats could cost.
