Interesting, but I must admit I don't quite understand.
(DWG2013 yielded same.)
Error cases:
2: It is identical to same frames opened in TrueView.
4: It is identical to same frames opened in TrueView.
8: Euro symbols are identical.
15: It is identical to same frames opened in TrueView.
17: Same as frames opened in TrueView.
20: It is identical to same frames opened in TrueView (but plotted output doesn't display circle).
24: It is identical to same frames opened in TrueView.
27: Same as frames opened in TrueView (red values are different)..uploads/413522/budweiser2013_Layout1.pdf

Your budweiser test drawings could stand to be cleaned up a bit before you make them available to your clients or the public in general.  I recommend running Overkill, -Purge (regapps), -Purge (all) then Audit.  Maybe that will eliminate some of the problems.  As a last resort do an EXPORTTOAUTOCAD.  That's my last word on the subject.

So the supplied benchmark results (even from a 7 years old version DWG2010, not from the latest) show at least 9 errors (from 28 tests), just in the modelspace. This 68% reliability is not bad (there are worse examples of AutoCAD lookalikes) but it is far from the expected 100% DWG compatibility. As said before, there are situations where none of these potential problems will occur or when some differences will not be that much a problem - but you can never be sure...

Ah, but you said to open the budweiser drawing and since you specifically have versions saved to different AutoCAD file formats I picked one that was compatible.  Are you moving the finish line after I have completed the race?  It doesn't matter.  You asked me to provide an image of the drawing opened in Draftsight and I did.  I completed the task.  Case closed.

Bricscad v17
(Note re frame 24: Images are identical in model space. "Extra lines" only apparent in plotted output)

Upload sized up (can be also sent via cloud storage).
 
The latest version of BUDWEISER.DWG is in the DWG2013 format.

Try again with a "smaller" image.

By the way, I ran AUDIT on your drawing; it had errors in it.

The budweiser drawing opened in Draftsight.

This is so ridiculous.  The image size limitation is 150KB.  The image file size I want to upload is 182KB.  So I guess I'm not going to be able to show you the whole image.

Alarmist or not - everyone have to make its own experience. But it is not about claims and feelings - can you send me a PDF or other hi-res output of the latest Budweiser benchmark DWG opened in Draftsight?
