May 21, 2007 - Sharing and working with AutoCAD drawings just got easier for architects and design and engineering professionals. Autodesk has combined powerful viewing and conversion tools in DWG TrueView 2008, its latest software for accurately viewing, plotting and publishing native DWG files.

DWG technology is the world's most commonly used design data format, with billions of DWG files circulating worldwide. DWG TrueView now includes conversion capabilities to translate a single or a batch set of drawings for any AutoCAD or AutoCAD-based drawing file format, from AutoCAD Release 14 through AutoCAD 2008 software. Even if partners and customers are using different versions of AutoCAD software, project teams can convert and share files with confidence in the integrity and compatibility of authentic DWG files.

Last but not least, DWG TrueView 2008 features enhanced viewing capabilities, and a 64-bit version lets users take advantage of their computer power. DWG TrueView 2008 is available for download free of charge at www.autodesk.com/dwgtrueview
