Can any recommend a free online viewer for DWG? 2nd choice would to install one - not thrilled about installing software from the web.

Today I tried converting DWG to PDF at www.zamzar.com, and the PDF was the wrong proportion - cutting off the left side of the image. I have been using www.zamzar.com for years and doing a great job with other formats.

Original DWG is 11x17 (ratio 1.55)
Converted file is 600x800 (ratio 1.33)

If that doesn't work, this will get to it:

THANKS BOB!!!! That's a great program. Easy to download and use, and perfect PDF's with excellent detail.

Many Thanks!!

Sometimes I get lucky (but don't tell the wife) ;^) YW

LOL!! I don't think this is related, but after using the program, I shut down the computer. Next time I powered up, an error message came up - need to scan a drive. This has been normal for the last few weeks - probably something getting ready to go. I let it scan the drive. Then 4 hours later it finished. No IE or OE icons on the desktop or the start menu program list. Got them back on the desktop by running from command prompt, but could not get them the back in the program list.

The good news is I used this as a reason to pick up a new laptop. Has Winders 8.1 on it. I'm keeping this one off the internet at least until I drop it a few times.
