I've tried inkscape, librecad, freecad, autodesk viewer, and www.zamzar.com. inkscape and librecad just show nothing. The rest generate error messages which tell me essentially nothing beyond "it don't work". Eg:

There was an error processing your file. F1GL3LVBRDEP27R3GX.dxfPlease Try a Different FilePossible issues could be:
• Your file may have external references which are not
currently supported. • You may have used an older file version, which may not work. • Your file may be corrupted or encrypted.

Inkscape works fine with DXF files, and its a free download from Mozilla.

those rectangular extrusion things can be bought from a company with some german name. They're a little expensive though. People use them alot in robotics.

Autocad will load DXF files. It's a very popular import/export format among many different software packages.
