Do any of you guys know of a way to view and edit an AutoCad file in Microsoft Visio? I've been trying with little real success...

Microsoft Visio

We use Illustrator to make nice charts

And also like to cut corners out nice
looking cake... seems to work... anyone can draw a few boxes with some
meaning mumble lines! come on

ok ok ok... i use UML for that stuff under Together Designer but then im a
tad old school when it comes to stuff like that...

try converting the file to DXF or EPS out of AutoCad...

Download Volo View Express. It will let you see AutoCAD Files. Or have the person who sent them to you make them PDF's. Not sure about editing. When ever I have to send my AutoCAD files to a different department I export the file into Corel Draw, for instance. They can be cleaned up there if need be for there use, but not transfered back up to AutoCAD.

How about this:
