Free AutoCAD viewer?

Does anyone know if there is free AutoCAD viewer anywhere? It would be nice if it worked "ok" in i Terminal Server / Citrix solution and had a "clean and nice" installation.
[EDIT]
Found a bunch with help of the almighty Google.

Just have to test which behaves best in a Multi User Environment...

eDrawings is a free viewer (that also can handle other 2D/3D CAD fileformats like IGES, ASM, Unigrafics, ..)

Another solution would be the free CAD Software A9Cad, wich can read/write DWGs. I like it much - it runs on old hardware pretty good, but only 2D.

Yes, I have tried "Brava Free DWG Viewer", "eDrawing 2007", "DWGSee" (not free) and a couple of more. I like the "eDrawing 2007 Viewer" a lot, but the default installation is "strange".

Thanks! I'll check that one!

Autodesk have their own free viewer, but it *sucks*. Especially in a Multi User Env.
