You can access two types of things in Hero Lab. Portfolios (especially ones exported to XML) and user files.

If you wanted to, you could put every spell, every item, every feat, and every skill, every race, every class in a single portfolio, then export that portfolio.

Then you would have to work on some sort of transformation script, because the XML between Hero Lab and Realm Works is not identical. The transformation process is going to be different for each type of thing.

After you get through accounting for all of that, you'd have to test it with small batches of each type of thing to make sure you got it right. Which you won't have. So you'll have to go back and fix some bugs, or add some things in the Realm Works structure.

Is it possible? Yes. Is it simple, quick and easy? No.
