I have about 20 Drawing files to send to a guy that just starting working for us, the problem is I run 2006 and he runs 2000. Is there a program (besides going in and re-saving each file as an 2000/LT format) that can change the format of all of these drawings?

I'm really not wanting to go and resave each one as it is very time consuming and I have more bigger fish to fry at the moment.

Thanks in advance!

Do you have a copy of DWG TrueConvert? Does the job quite nicely for me.

Strangely enough, last time I went to find it on Autodesk's site, it was gone. Don't know if they stopped putting it out or what.

No, they simply added it to DWG TrueView, which SUCKS. I wish they hadn't merged the two programs together like that, but it's still there. :)

Just have the guy with 2000 use the True Convert and let him convert them himself.

He can also use DWGGateway from Solidworks, it will let him open the drawings.
