Vendor wants drawing in ***.dwg.

I have AutoSketch 9 which doesn't save line widths when saving to ***.dwg.
Purchased TurboCAD 17 which is too complicated for what is being done.
AutoCAD Light is too expensive.

What drawing program do you use for simple 2D drawings?

What drawing program do you use for simple 2D drawings?

I use Visio for simple 2-D drawings. It has the option to Save As *.DWG file. I just tried it and it exported the file, but I don't have anything to open a *.DWG file with, so I don't know how well the export went...
 
Solidedge 2d is free and should import and export dwg
