What is a DWG file?

The DWG file was created by AutoCAD for its professional design software. The .dwg extension is a database file that can contain either 2D or 3D designs. It also contains metadata describing the content of the file along with vector image data. There have been a few different variations of the DWG file over the years. Because of the updates over the years there may be third-party softwares that can open some dwg files but not others. But for the most part there is no shortage of programs that can open DWG files.
