Dwg editor online or service?

[hotnuts21]

Hope this is the right forum, I need to make changes to our architects dwg drawing. We had them done about 4 yrs ago and we are doing some minor changes I want to update to pass to trades.

 

Any suggestions for online tools or services, I'm happy to pay to have them modified. 

 

It's only 2D and basically moving a door, and WC room from one end of the extension to the other and adding a pantry room.  

 

Any suggestions greatly received, everything I've tried just doesn't seem to want to work (prob my uselessness).

 

Thanks

Paul

Unsure if it's still the case, but a couple of years ago you could sign-up to a AutoCAD course online, and then get a 1yr free education license.

 

I also found https://viewer.autodesk.com/ useful as, while you can't edit dwg, it allows you to annotate and share drawings.  Also good for quickly measuring things from drawings.

 

Also, while it may not be an issue in practice, you need to be careful you aren't breaking any legal terms with your architect, especially if your edited drawings continues to include your architects names and logo etc.

There are a lot of free CAD packages.  *.dwg is a common standard, download one and see if it opens your files properly.
