Anybody out there with a newer version of AutoCAD?

My MicroStation won't open these newer dwgs. This happens about once a month. I've tried to install the TrueViewer from the Autodesk website. Every time I try I get this fool message:

Today was no different.

My email is current. Thanks in advance.

Paden,

email it to me as jcsurvey at netzero.net, and I will try. What version do you need?

Try DraftSight

If I need to save to an earlier version, I generally open it, explode it a few times (to take care of blocks which some older versions do not like) and then save as the file of choice.

I use DWGgateway

It has opened everything I've tried on it and saves back to earlier versions.

Will only save to the present version you have it installed on.
