File extension | .DWG |
Category | CAD File |
Description | DWG is a Windows-based binary file format created by AutoDesk. It stores 2D and 3D design data created in CAD-package programs (AutoCAD, IntelliCAD, etc.) DWG files comprise vector image elements and metadata. The format is native to the CAD package, although there are non-native CAD applications, by aid of which you can open a DWG file. Since its introduction in 2000, several variations of the DWG format have been developed, and not all of them can be opened using a non-native application. |

File extension | .DXF |
Category | CAD File |
Description | DXF (Drawing Interchange File Format, Drawing Exchange Format) was intended as a universal extension to boost the compatibility of documents created in AutoCAD. Based on ASCII, it shows better compatibility than DWG. For instance, the Valve Hammer Editor exports 3D data in the DXL format, so that other programs can be used to open them. Over its history, which started in 1982, the DXF format has undergone numerous transformations. |
