There are many programs that will open AutoCAD drawings. Here are a few: AutoCAD (open, create, edit) AutoCAD LT (open, create, edit) Autodesk Map (open, create, edit) TurboCAD (open, create, edit) IntelliCAD (open, create, edit) Microstation (open, create, edit) ArcGIS (open, query, convert) ArcExplorer (open) Autodesk TrueView (open)
If you search on AutoCAD DWG you will find a lot more. Since Autodesk changes the DWG format every couple of years, if the drawing you have was created with the newest version of AutoCAD (2007) then you might have some problems opening it with a 3rd Party App.

Do programs exist that will open AutoCAD files. For example, I want to take an existing architectural design built with AutoCAD, open it and then add the landscape architecture to it (plants and structure). Is AutoCAD so proprietary that I need AutoCAD?
