I am looking for a CAD File convertor from DRW (1993 files) to a usable format for DataCAD

Thanks

Out of curiousity, what program generated the DRW files? The format doesn't sound familiar to me.

I believe that would have been Micrografx Designer.

Greg -

Your posted website wasn't as helpful as this one:
http://graphicssoft.about.com/gi/dynami ... %2C00.html

Which gave me the following programs that used that format:
- Caddie CAD drawing
- Lotus Freelance image
- Micrografx vector graphics file
- Pro/E drawing

It must be that Alpha "high" that got Dave out of the cave, even for just one response!! :lol:

That link didn't get me very far...not even a page with the .drw file extension. Tried to look it up and got a list of pages that might have something about .drw including the site I posted.

I might not have used it right. Yep, I didn't. Didn't select the D to look through those.

I usually just type the extension into google and look through the results. Typically I get to the site I posted. As you scroll down the page it show different possiblities for the options. I saw information on all those you posted.
