Try to load the files in sch-rnd, you'll either get an error message or a lossy import. There are a lot of things that will never work without manual tweaking because of the different data models. Some aspects of the hierarchic design is included. However, what would be useful for sch-rnd for testing hierarchic support at this stage is not trying to import a complex design from an alien fromat, but to understand how sch-rnd implements it and experimeinting with small, from-scratch projects, exploring different corner cases.
