Converting Micrografx .DRW to something else

Postby Tonttu » Sun Nov 30, 2008 5:17 am

I've got some .DRW files dating from 2004 that I'd like to view or even convert to another vector format. Googling around hasn't helped much. Tried (and failed with) Corel X4 trial, Autoimager trial, Leadtools trial I didn't understand how to use..

Thought maybe some vectorheads here could help.

Don't you love proprietary formats :)

Heh, yeah. Was helping a relative trying to check out some of the electrical drawings he got from a design company. Well, if he decides to do business with some other company, just have to hope they own that CADS Planner soft..
