The toolkit may work for you indirectly, but not via the image formats
(those are simple internal storage descriptions and there is no "real"
knowledge of images in the DWF toolkit). You need something to render DWFs
into TIFFs.
If you grab the DWF toolkit posted at autodesk.com (search for it, find it,
download it, love it), you can use the DwfRevert sample app to push the DWF
6 files back into DWF 5.5 files. Note, this is sample software, and as such
is not guaranteed to work 100%. But, with the older file formats in hand,
you should be able to then use your other software to turn them into a
TIFFs.
On another front, I believe that AEV does produce metafiles via the
copy-to-clipboard functionality, so you might consider driving that through
automation and producing metafiles. From there, you should be able to find
something that converts metafiles to TIFFs.
Good luck.

I cannot use AutoCad for obvious price reasons. What is the easiest tool for
this? Will the DWF toolkit work? I looked at LeadTools but they don't
support the latest DWF format. Any advice will be appreciated...
