I have several project drawings that are in '.dwg' format which is the
Autocad file type.

I can view these by importing into Photoshop or VISIO, but I can't
edit them, they appear as a single item ... rather than the individual
elements of the drawings.

AutoCAD is not a cheap product and has a reputation for being a steep
learning curve .... anybody know of any other suitable drawing
package, presumably with fewer 'bells & whistles' which will allow me
to edit these files?

One of the PC magazines currently has turboCAD (old version of course)
on the coverdisc.
