Software advice

Post by Zeus83 »

I'm looking for a free version of a 2d autocad. Just need to tweak files and adjust layers. I noticed many of the dxf's from this site won't load on my machine. (HPR400XD Retro Systems) They freeze at 49% while loading. I've heard that the splines can cause problems? Any help would be great!
