Hi folks,    I am looking for someone who may have a current version of Autocad that may be willing to "convert" a DWG file back to R14. The file is small at 314k. It is of a house that a friend of mine is building here in the Dominican Republic. I am wanting to add / modify the electrical design to the house however cannot open the file (incompatable with my release). If you send me an email I will forward the drawing to you. THANKS!    If I have posted this inappropiately, or in the wrong place, accept my appologies in advance.Respectfully,Ken Williamsbotemon@gmail.com

No need, Autodesk has an application, Autodesk DWG Trueview, which you can freely download and use to create an older file format, see here for more info : http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/qaID.asp?tip=4706

Hey,
There have been some good responses to your question that will work. If you still don't understand, my profile has my e-mail address and I will convert the file for you.
Hope that helps,
