Free software for DWG reading and creating.

[Deolman]

My son put me on to this. He is an advanced AutoCAD and Solidworks user. Solidworks is an advanced 3d drawing system. The same people are making available, a 2d cad drawing system capable of creating and handling DWG drawings. I am not a CAD user as such but my son says this appears to be a very robust program. The best part is the price - FREE. You can get it here:

Thanks for the link, will have to check it out. Looks easier to use than Autodesk program that I have.

It might just be me but I downloaded the program to try it out and now my email is getting packed with trash.
