I need a simple and free DXF editor programme; nothing too clever.

I can get our radar system to burn all the radar maps and aircraft tracking areas onto a CD as a DXF file. I can open the file with either VISIO or a freebee viewer, and I can see a picture made up from many layers, all the same colour. What I would like to do is chuck out the layers I dont want, and recolour the ones I do, perhaps adding some text annotations as well - so I can use them in presentations, meetings etc.

I've tried A9CAD, but it refuses to control the layers, complaining about it cannot delete a 'layer containing objects'. VISIO isn't suitable either.

Any other suggestions that I can try?
