What free tools can open and convert DXF files?

I did some drawing last night for lasercutting, and I found out that DesignSpark can export DXF files, but it can't open or import them... Tried Sketchup and found the same thing. I didn't see a promising extension for Sketchup either. Apparently DXF files are somewhat proprietary.

What free/open software are you using to work with DXF's?

Inkscape will do it. a free cad program that works really well is Draft Sight,,, you have to register it, but it is free. only good for 2d work.
