Publisher's Description
From SolidWorks:
DWGgateway is a free AutoCAD download for AutoCAD users who do not want to upgrade to the latest version of AutoCAD, but who wish to continue to exchange DWG files with partners, customers and suppliers that use different versions of the AutoCAD DWG file format. DWGgateway enables you to open DWG files created by AutoCAD versions R14 through the latest version, and then edit them and save them as any version of AutoCAD, from R2.5 to the latest version. It also enables AutoCAD users to create PDF documents that can be shared with anyone.
Version 3 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

"Toolbar won't load"
Version: DWGgateway 3
Pros
used to work fine
Cons
Won't work as toolbar not loading
Summary
I have used DWG Gateway before and it worked fine. Just installed it on my laptop and the toolbar doesn't show up when I open up Autocad. It seems from the reviews that that lots of people are experiencing similar. Has anyone solved the problem and managed to get it working?
-
"Installed but nothing happened."
Version: DWGgateway 3
Pros
NONE! Didn't work!
Cons
Didn't work.
Summary
Running Autocad 2006. Downloaded installation file and ran the install program. Seemed to install just fine, but there's no indication of a program being installed nor is there any add on to Autocad that would allow me to open and convert dwg files.
Not sure what's up with the thing. -
""Cannot Find An Autocad Installation" [EXIT STAGE LEFT]"
Version: DWGgateway 3
Pros
None - couldn't install, despite having AutoCAD 2008
Cons
Everything - couldn't install, despite having AutoCAD 2008
Summary
Couldn't install, despite having AutoCAD 2008. Didn't even provide an opportunity for you to browse to your installation, just exited with no choice.
-
"It can't find my Acad LT 200, offers & won't install"
Version: DWGgateway 3
Pros
None - it doesn't work
Cons
It refuses to install and offers no place to find help or any reason for it's failure
Summary
An arrogant piece of rubbish!
-
"could not install the program-in autocad"
Version: DWGgateway 3
Pros
used it before and it worked
Cons
Could not install it; it ran through the install program but had no icons added to autocad in my menus.
Summary
no place to look for help.

"Converted 2009 files"
Version: DWGgateway 3
Pros
I had received some 2009 files, but I use 2006 in my office - it converted them well. There was a few things that shifted, but overall it the layers, font, lines etc all came through fine. MUCH cheaper than purchasing AutoCAD 2009. Very easy to use.
Cons
Confused that I had to restart AutoCAD (which was open while I installed - so it did not show up in the menu) and use it INSIDE AutoCAD the first time. I thought it was a stand-alone program, so I was searching my computer for the program.
Summary
Easy to use and perfect price!
-
"Some things are NOT too good to be true"
Version: DWGgateway 3
Pros
Easier than Paris Hilton!
-
"good"
Version: DWGgateway 3
Pros
good

"AUTOCAD DRAFTSMAN"
Version: DWGgateway 3
-
"Quick install, kept my x-refs and seamless integration"
Version: DWGgateway 3
Pros
I e-transmitted some 2007LT to myself to work on at my house and I forgot to save them down so I could open with my 2004 full version. Long story short, it installed quick and opened up my drawings with x-refs flawlessly. Did I mention that Its free. Get these too, Spybot----Screenhunter4.0---Blender--Free-Free-Free-Free. First time poster, long time loader!
Cons
Didn't like that I had to read the reviews of the couple of programs that where listed before this one before I found it!
