.dwg import version compatibility

What is the latest version of Autocad that VW12 can import?

I don't have VW 12 installed, but it should tell you in online help. If not start the export process for .dwg and look at the version in the pull down menu. The latest one will be the latest version you can import.

If you are using a windows computer there is an option to solve the import issue and not have to ask your client/supplier to save it in an older version.

From the Autodesk website (www.autodesk.com) you can download DWG TrueView. Apart from being a dwg viewer it can also convert DWG files to/from AutoCAD R14/LT97 up to 2011
