I'm looking for a simple, user-friendly software that can open SKD files on windows 7, running in 64 bits.
Hello
A priori no possibility to open it with W7 64 bits, but there is a tool created by AutoCAD to convert them:
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=2523539&linkID=9243019
But I don't know if they can be used under W7 64bits.
In the worst case, use an old PC to do the conversion, then no problem to open DWG or DXF on W7!
They talk about it on a forum here:
http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/AutoSketch/Convert-legacy-V2-1-SKD-files-to-DWG/td-p/3737162/page/2
And they say:
I have done the conversion on my Autosketch 9. By opening 9 and searching in 2.1 WSKETCH2 you can open the SKD drawing and then save it as a DWG using Autosketch 9. For some reason You have to change some print setup orders in 9 so the drawing will print out correctly.
Hello
SKDs are not Sketchup files?
If yes, just download the free version of Skecthup.

Depending on the version of AutoCAD used, and the version of AutoSketch that was used, it is also possible to open them in AutoCAD just by renaming the extension to DWG (with a bit of luck, you never know).
