    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone could recommend a program that will allow me to view DWG files and allow me to print them without watermarks ?
    Anything i've used so far either wont allow me to print or adds a watermark accross the document.

    Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks.

    Been having this problem myself, this works for me fine. Is a rather large viewer, about 100mb. And can be a bitch to install depending on what other software is installed.

    Maybe try one of these? Link to page is at the bottom.

    Volo® View 3 software can open a wide variety of drawing formats, namely DWG, DWF™, DXF™, Autodesk® Inventor® parts, assemblies, and drawings (IPT, IAM, IDW), raster files (including JPG, TIF, BMP, GIF, BMP, and PNG).

    Volo View 3 has the following limitations:

    * Viewing of 3D DWFs.
    * Viewing of object properties (meta data) within DWF files.
    * Viewing of markups produced with Autodesk Design Review or DWF Composer.
    * Viewing of Inventor 9 or inferior, and later IPT, IAM and IDW formats.
    * Viewing on Windows® XP SP2 operating system or more recent platforms.

    To take advantage of these features, use free Autodesk® Design Review for viewing, printing, measuring and marking up of design data. If you are working with Volo View in full production today and would like to continue working with it, the software is available as a free download.

    Thanks lads, i'm just downloading the Autodesk True view at the moment. Its kind of slow here in work, ill let you know how it goes.

    Not having any luck with that at all lads, its almost finishing the install then throwing up an error message and cutting out. Its most likely conflicting with something here on the work PC's. :(

    Anyone have any other suggestions ?

    Install it in safemode if possible, or just make sure all other software is shut down before installling.

    It installed in safe mode thanks anti, seems like a very good app, very high quality printouts (unlike a lot of other apps I used).

    Thanks again.
