*.DWG file viewer?

Post by Devin »

I have some .dwg files of a City Class ironclad that I can't view. I did a Google search for a viewer but didn't turn up anything. Anyone have any ideas for converting them to PDF or JPG format so I can use them for a scratch build?

Thanks,

Devin

Have you tried this?

It was also the second link that appeared in a googling "dwg viewer" :P

Failing that, here's one for DWG -> PDF conversion:

Actually I believe I did give that first link a try but they wanted a registration or something along those lines. I didn't see the second link, though, so I'll give that a shot: dwg to PDF is exactly what I need. I have David Meagher's plans for the USS Cairo which I'll use for the bulk of the work, but I think the CAD files will have some internal casement support models that I can utilize in a cut-away model.

Thanks!
