Cameo Business Modeler plugin for MagicDraw supports BPMN 2.0 model export to XPDL 2.2.

The support for XPDL 2.2 allows you to export your BPMN Processes and Collaborations to XPDL 2.2 format. A separate XPDL file is then created for each exported BPMN Process or Collaboration diagram.

XPDL 2.2 does not support BPMN Choreography and Conversation elements from BPMN Collaborations.
