I have Illustrator CS2 and you have to save the drawing to vers R14 to get them in Illustrator CS2.

 

You might look at Inkscape, it will open a R13 dxf from Autocad and is FREE open source.

i,ve got a trial version so its version 6........ 3 days left!

 

I assume you mean Illustrator CS6? Illustrator 6 was released in 1996.

 

I have Illustrator CS5 and I can open 2007 format dwg's, although I do get a warning about object attributes not being preserved. I can still open the dwg though.

 

2004 format opens just fine, with no warning messages.
