There is cad3d (part of survex) which converts .3d to dxf.

You can also print to postscript.

This used to be the printps command, but now it's just select a
postscript printer. postscript is trivialy convertible to .pdf if that
helps.

.3d is of course a vector format already.

Fotleg's caveconverter may help, as it should let you read the survex
data in as therion data, and therion can output svg and dxf and
probably shapefiles.

cc:ing survex list for other suggestions.
