Brickscad does not cost alot and it can open dwg files of the newest autocad version in a native way and hast most of autocads features. I guess if you count the hours of problems you have with buggy freeware software brickscad is worth the money it costs. It's just a guess, I've never tried the full workflow in a professional, economic environment with it ;-) Kind regards Alain ..or use “brickcad” as a good alternative for autocad.

The python based DXF import just a couple items down in the import list is much much better, supports a lot more features (including 3D dxf files) and is offers a lot more options.

And with complex spacious structures (crazy stair cases in my previous work) 2D only import is not so useful. Well some times simple 3DSOUT command helps.
