CAD wanted
 

Hi,

I am about to build a profile from scratch and allready have some plans. The problem is it's a .dwg file and I don't have an aotoCAD program at all. Can I download a free version which is good enough to view the plans somewhere?

Thanks in advance

AutoDesk (makers of AutoCAD) have a free AutoCAD viewer program that you can download from their site (www.autodesk.com). I know that there are some free CAD programs, such as TurboCAD LT, just not sure of the file compatibilities.

http://www.al-ki.com/tcad/download.php#HatchPatterns TurboCAD v4 is a free download and will open, edit and print all ACAD r12 .dxf's or earlier. There was also a T/CAD 2D v6.4 free download that would open most others but I don't know the URL for it.

Good Luck!

I need it to open .dwg files, which one will do that?
Thanks for all your help

Barto, if you can't find something that will open .dwg's, then email me the file and I'll convert it to a .dxf for you to use with the other programs. As far as I know, only AutoCAD will open dwg files for anything other than just viewing it.
