I was still at the tv station when some vendor sent me a dxf. Thats when I discovered Autocads sky-high per seat costs, so we never did buy Autocad. Compounded at the time by the only x86 machine at my disposal already had a very smoothly running linux on it.
The vendor was amazed when I told him there was not a copy of Autocad anyplace on the then 46 win95 pc's in the building. Needless to say we didn't buy either. Took Jim about a week to do that whole project for the control room in linux. > Inkscape can open them. Or try https://a360.autodesk.com/viewer/ for > an online viewer. Inkscape only shows one cutout pattern so I assume it doesn't understand a step & repeat construction. Strike 6 for Autocad.
