My father just got prelim construction sketches emailed to him for a new building he's having put up. It's in AutoCAD .dwg format - but we have no way of viewing or printing it. I tried converting it with Adobe Online, but it failed for some unknown reason.

Anyone out there with Adobe Distiller or AutoCAD that can save this file in some readily viewable format? Like PDF or a DWF file?
 
Oh, and if the trial for that doesn't work for you (ie won't allow printing) there are tons of other ACAD viewers out there.

It seems as if the file is corrupt. DrDWG would crash trying to open it, and gistech1978 said Distiller would crash trying to convert it. I told my dad to contact the planner and have him resend the file or convert the file to something useable in the first place.
 
Have you tried autodesk volo view express?

It's been withdrawn, but there are still plenty of download sites around - it may work, and it supposed to support .dwg files.
