I just downloaded True View and tried to open a file. There is a warning box that comes up saying "This DWG file cannot be opened because it was created with a more recent version of DWG True View. Download the DWG TrueConvert tool from Autodesk to translate to different versions of DWG files."
Am I missing something - I thought the DWG TrueConvert tool was part of the download. Please help.

Download the Autodesk TrueView software.
Open the TrueView application.
In the upper left corner there is a menu button that says DWG Convert. Click the button.
DWG TrueView will now open a menu window to convert your file according to default settings. Make the selection for which version of AutoCAD to convert to.
Make any adjustments you need to make to the default settings.
Press the "add files" button and select the files you want to convert to the files menu,
Press convert.
Wait for the conversion to complete, and open the file.
Good luck.
Please don't reply to this message to contact me as I will not monitor it.

Too bad you will never know.
Your explanation was both poignant and elegant.
