    Default Software to Open Autocad

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Can I ask if anyone knows of software you can buy which will allow you to open and print Autocad drawings. (no editing required)

    We are a small interiors company and one of clients would like to email drawings direct to us for quotation purposes but a full version of Autocad LT 2006 is coming out at around the £690.00 + vat mark and we only need to read and print the drawings! - so if anyone can help with suggestions that might help that would be great.

    Thanks folks.

    .... OR you could get them to save the drawings as pdf files which you can view using Adobe Acrobat Reader. :-)

    There's another product out there that is just like autocad but it's freeware. It uses the same *.dwg file format as autocad.
