Opening .dwg Files?

Anyone have or know of free software that will open files created by AutoDesk AutoCad? Files with a .dwg extension?

DraftSight is a free download that will let you open, work on, and save AutoCad dwg files. It gives you the ability to extract information from the file and work with layers, rather than only be able to print off what is being displayed, if you use a dwg. viewer.
