What about using nanoCAD?

Community Answer

Click File > Open > Browse. Next to the File name box, click the All Visio Files dropdown, and then select AutoCAD Drawing. Find the . dwg or . dxf file on your computer, and then double-click it to open it. The AutoCAD file will appear as a new Visio drawing.

Open the DWG file. Type "PAGESETUP" in the command line and press Enter. Select the layout and click "Modify". Go to "Header/Footer" tab. Adjust the "Height" and "Offset" values. Click "OK" to save changes and close the dialog box. Click "OK" again to close the Page Setup Manager.
