DXF Viewer?

[Waterboy]

I use Solidworks on my desktop for drawing and viewing DXF files, but I would like to put something on my laptop for viewing and editing DXF files and I do not want to get into the big money like I did with Solidworks. What free or cheap software do you guys like or prefer?

Thanks!

Solid Edge 2D drafting is Free and works pretty good. Down load only takes a few minutes. If you don't like it you haven't lost anything.

You have to get the dxf plug in also.

I use SolidWorks also but use DraftSight for some of my older AutoCad .dwg's and .dxf's

Also with every paid version of SolidWorks you can get a "Home" license to run on another computer.

The thing I like about Irfanview is it puts their icon on the file so you can see which are DXF easily.
Just a double click and a small window open with an image of the file.
