I can find a reader i think or you could send it in a different format. I will take anything at this point.

I can send you a file scaled to fit the width based on a 24 pounder carriage.  Ask questions if something is unclear.

The .dwg file is the native format of AutoCAD.  You'll most likely need a different format if you don't have a CAD program that will read it.

You can download a free .dwg viewer from FastCAD called CADView.  It works OK but you can't make changes to the file.

Excellent!

Thanks, George, having a reader opens up reading dwg files to lots of folks (free!).  That sure beats sending jpg's!
