I need to know if by any means we can open dwf files in AutoCAD LT? I have 2012 version.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Not sure if there is an LT limitation but give Lynn Allen's tip a shot.
Though this is not opening like you would expect a DWG file to be.

Actually, these days you CAN reference a DWF file just like you would a DWG or PDF. No editing, of course, but viewing & tracing are supported.
I followed the link and found that I needed to download the 'Autodesk Design Review 2012'
And if someone sends you a DWF file and you want to view it, simply download the free viewer at: Autodesk DWF Viewer (free, free, free - we all love free!).
Thanks...Im good on the DWF Files now.
Glad you found that solution but that is different than viewing the DWF inside AutoCAD LT.

You've not needed to download or install any software for quite some time to just 'view' a DWF file:
http://freewheel.autodesk.com/ and no special effort is required.
http://quickshare.labs.autodesk.com/ requires a free account sign-up to use regularly and easily.
And as noted above, you already have LT2012, so just use DWFATTACH command and bring it into LT.
