I need a FREEEEE .dwg auto cad viewer.

I need to find a decent FREE viewer for viewing and printing auto cad drawings.

I travel to several different offices a day and would like to carry drawings and a free viewer to install on contractors computers that are too cheap to buy autocad lite.

I don't need to change drawings but resizing to fit letter size paper and increase font size would be nice.

Go to "autodesk.com". They are the AutoCAD company. Look for the free download viewer called "Volo-View" It'l let you view any AutoCAD file of any version, and even let you "red-line"it.

I'm playing with ProgeCad LT 2005 and A9CAD, A9CAD seems pretty easy to use except I can't figure out how to make my outside dimension lines and text black insted of light blue. I have all of the other text black but this one's trouble.

I remember "Volo View Express" being free, but I'm pretty sure that it hasn't been available for a while. The full Volo View program is available, but I don't think it's free.

If you have information that supersedes mine, then please let me know!

Autodesk offers a free viewer for .DWF files - Autodesk DWF Viewer.

That wouldn't support native .DWG files, but you could "publish" the .DWF files from Autocad, Inventor, etc. when you want to share them with others.

Sorry for the late reply, just got back from Atlanta.

I go to
www.hotfiles.com
for shareware and free programs. You will get redirected to ZD net downloads but it's easier to remember hotfiles.

Anyhow I searched for DWG viewer and this was the first of nine pages of results. Looks like what you are after.
