SolidWorks DWGEditor

Included with SolidWorks 2008 is DWGEditor. The DWGEditor is for SolidWorks customers who use AutoCAD® to edit or maintain existing DWG files and provides a low risk, low cost alternative for editing DWG files in their native format, using a familiar user interface. Unlike AutoCAD, the DWGEditor is available without costly upgrades from multiple vendors.
