Question
I receive some files in .dwg extension. the files cannot be open with AutoCAD2005 but can be view with AutoCAD viewer program. Can these files be convert back to normal AutoCAD drawing files ?

Answer
Apparently you rec'd a drawing that's a newer release than your AutoCAD software version. Install TrueView & you should be able to convert that dwg file to your 2005 dwg format...let me know if this works for you?
