I was e-mailed several DWF files and I need to convert them into DWG files. Is there any way of doing this? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Hi
Check out the following Technical Document's on the AutoDesk web site under the Knowledge Base section -
ID: TS64774
ID: TS11098 (Protecting a drawing from being edited - Kelvyn this one may interest you)

http://www.intelcad.com/pages/dwfin/index.htm has a Free 14 day evaluation download ObjectARX program that convert's DWF to DWG
or
A method that I just tried here, worked to some extent, not perfect but got a .DWG file -
Open .DWF file in VoloView and print to file so that a HPGL plot file is created.
Open the HPGL plot file in ViewCompanion (http://www.softwarecompanions.com)
SaveAs .DXF file.
Open AutoCAD and used the command ._DXFIN
Have a good one, Mike

One of the main reasons we use the DWF format is to keep the people we send it to, from mucking with it. If you really need it in DWG form, ask the originator for a copy.
