    Please check DWG TrueView from Autodesk.

    You can set Autocad to always save down to the oldest version. See below:

    @jack: many many thanks jack for the prompt reply..the way you are showing me is only open in 2010 version.when you set like this ( 2010 )then you can open only in 2010 version but when you set it in 2000 version then you can open in any version but my question is that suppose i set it in 2010 version and i had to open in another computer but there is different version at that time it will not open because it will open only in 2010 version..but i think MSASU is right and from that we can open in any version and iam going to that one....
    Thanks in advance..
