Anybody know of any free (or cheap) software that will read DXF files please?

This might do what you want but there's loads if you type DXF viewer into Google.

If you want an AutoCad type programme to be able to modify/edit as well, try DraftSight.
Very similar to use too.

Here's one that does DXF & DWG ones - free too.

Can you import DXF, PDF, or DWG files into sketch up or convert to SKU if so how.

Yeah - I use the solidworks one. It does what it says on the tin. Couldn't remember the name of it before.

Thanks for that - I've tried the Solidworks one - it allows me to view it but I need print-outs that are to accurate scale (1:1250)?

Will try the Bentley one?

Bit of a pain really - I needed a fairly large OS map but you cannot get 1:1250 sheets from them anymore (of that size) so had to pay for a DXF file of the area at a cost of £240!!
The price does include 1 No. 1:2500 plot but I need 1:1250's of certain areas.

I have access to a large format CAD printer, so if you are wanting a print (assuming it's not loads of them) let me know and I can print it & post it on.
