Convert .cad file to .dwg

Hello!. I want to use a model I found but the format is in .cad, I did a lot of research and can't find at least a demo or trial of QuickCAD that I think was used to create the file. I downloaded other CAD programs but none recognize .cad 

Can someone assist me to convert the file?, I really need access to the file, and converting to .dwg will give me more choices to use the file (at least open with DWG Trueview?).

I could not find the extra files, so I assume these are the ones and I have converted them to ACAD 2007 DWG format.

If the package you are reading the files does not allow you to "tile print" to actual 1:1 scale attached are the PDF tiled version of the 150 parachute panel on 6 x A4 pages. I added the crosshatch to make it easier to align the pieces into one sheet and added the dimensions to confirm the size.

As mentioned earlier in the thread there are many file types that Autosketch can read but .CAD has been used by several other packages. I have had success with some but not all CAD files as this extension has been used for various software, send me the file and I am only to willing to see.
