HELP! Can't open .dwg file!

[J. MacDonald]

So I'm about to try to wire up my new grinder including the nice Leeson motor adammichael sent me and I'm having trouble. As I don't want to blow up my VFD or burn down teh house, I got Leeson to send me the wiring diagram yesterday. Today when I tried to open it I discovered it's in .dwg format and I can't open it!

Any ideas?

It's a CAD program file.

You can try downloading a program to view it:

Download Voloview from Autocad (it's free) and you might be able to view it.

EDIT: I just checked and now it's called Autodesk DWF Viewer. Still free though. If it doesn't work for the .dwg ask the person who sent you the .dwg to send you the file as a .dwf and it should work for sure.

If you still need help you can send me the .dwg and I will send you an image file so you can see it.
