suggestions for a CAD viewer

Any recommendations for a good but simple CAD viewer (dxf and dwg)? For non-cad users, i.e. sales department. Ever since the extinction of
Voloview, I often have to save down 2004 format dwg and dxf files so they can view and print them. Autodesk has that new TrueView but it looks too complicated yet it has no inquiry or measure features. I've looked at Cadwizz but I thought I'd throw this out there for some feedback.

Why not create PDF's? Easily viewed and printed with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.

because it would need to create an additional PDF for every thousands drawings he might already have.. and an update with every change in the drawings.

Autodesk now has DWGTrueView you can download. It is a little large at around 102 MB however.

Downloaded DWGTrueView yesterday. Looks just like AutoCad with no functions except zoom, print and export. But still not bad!
