How to install the AutoCAD plugin

Help! I need to open AutoCAD files and can't find the basic instructions to find and install the plugin that will enable me to open, mark up, and save native dwg format files into a new pdf markup. I opened 'Administrator' but can't find the option to install a new plugin to Bluebeam. I only have Excel and Word plugins, and don't know how to find and install an AutoCAD reader / import plugin. HOW DO I WORK WITH NATIVE dwg FILES IN BLUEBEAM?

Bluebeam Revu will not work with .dwg files. They need to be printed to PDF first. The Bluebeam plugin for AutoCAD just makes generating PDFs easier from the CAD environment.

Try viewer.autodesk.com as a free .dwg viewer, which does have some markup capabilities, but it can also print PDFs!
