    Need help with a dwg file

    I need to ask a favor of someone with Autocad:

    I have a drawing from a customer that must have been created with the newest version of Autocad (2005?). We have the 2002 version, but it won't open the file. I downloaded a free drawing viewer, and was able to print the drawing, but I really need to access it with Autocad so I can get dimensions. I was wondering if someone out there could open and save it as R14 for me. I will email the file if you think you can do this for me. The parts are coming in today, and I am supposed to have the engraving program ready when they get here. Thanks!

    Why not ask the customer to do it for you?

    thanks scubanick. I only have Autocad LT, so I don't know if that will work with it. I'll try...

    Nope, it won't work for LT:{(

    Maybe you can mail it to one of us to do a save as in 2002.

    You can PM it to me if you like as I have 2002 and dwg!
