Can anyone recommend the best free download program for viewing and printing .dxf files on a computer without Auto Cad?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Guys,

I went with AUTODESK True View 2008.
It downloaded fine but I've not tried it yet.
I'll respond later as to how well it works in case anybody is interested.

Here is one by Autodesk. http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?id=3239384&siteID=123112

Also, Lincolns discontinued program WeldCad that was included with Arcworks will also read .dxf files. Of course it is a windows 3.1 style interface and can be a pain with long directory names.

I like using eDrawings. Free and easy just like me.
