Is it possible to view newer drawings in older versions of AutoCad (2000)
Find DWG TrueView [a free download from Autodesk], which has the ability to convert newer drawings to older file formats.
The currently newest AutoCAD version 2022 can be read with AutoCAD 2018 and newer (they use the same file format).
For future AutoCAD versions we don't yet know it.
AutoCAD 2013 can read up to AutoCAD 2017
AutoCAD 2010 can read up to AutoCAD 2012
AutoCAD 2007 can read up to AutoCAD 2009
AutoCAD 2004 can read up to AutoCAD 2006
AutoCAD 2000 can read up to AutoCAD 2003.
And each version can read each older version.

Where are the files in question coming from? Maybe you can ask the sender to saveas the files in your (2000) format?
Or, you can ask someone here in the forum to do that (if we don't talk about hundreds of files 😉 )

Try ZIPping them, and attaching the .ZIP file.
here you go.
