Actually, I have taken files home to QCad from AutoCAD. I save them in .dxf. And a quick web search I just did turned up a few dwg to dxf converters, but I don't know if they are worthwhile. I think dxf is a better interchange format than dwg. > If you're an engineer taking your work home, you might very well want > AutoCAD on your home system. For the high price of AutoCAD, though, I'll take the slight inconvenience of using .dxf. Out of curiousity, how much did AutoCAD cost you? Here are a couple alternatives I've heard about (but not tried), which aren't necessarily free but are at least cheaper than AutoCAD: http://www.cycas.de/ (geared toward architecture, with some 3D ability) http://www.varkon.com/ (free for Linux, some 3D ability) -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.com/
