Graphic file translation problem

I would like my mac to be able, yet again, to outshine the PCs of my 
co-workers, but I am stuck.  Can you help ?

A (PC) colleague of mine has received an e-mail attachment (reportedly 
some kind of technical CAD picture) and has asked me to "decode" it as so 
far I have always been able to translate "whatever graphics file" he has 
ever been able (or forced) to throw at me.  This time I am stymied because 
nothing in my arsenal (no, not even Maclink Plus, nor Graphic Converter) 
has any idea what to do with a PC ".drw" file.  Can anyone help me (and 
hence the poor PC user) out by telling me what application makes .drw 
files.  I would especially like to hear from anyone who knows of a mac 
utility which might be able to read these files and hopefully turn 'em into 
eps's or perhaps pict's - but I suppose I could live with it if you can tell 
me of a PC utility which can do it  (I would just have to use Soft PC; 
convert his file and then still tell him I did it on a Mac!)

TIA
