Autodesk TrueView
You can view .dwg files with Autodesk® DWG TrueView™ software, a free* stand-alone .dwg viewer with DWG TrueConvert™ software included. Built on the same viewing engine as AutoCAD® software, DWG TrueView enables you to view .dwg and DXF™ files, just as you would in AutoCAD. By installing the free* Autodesk® Design Review software, you can then open .dwg files as well as view, print and track changes to Autodesk 2D and 3D design files without the original design software.
Autodesk Design Review
