| File Extension | DWG |
| Full Name | AutoCAD Drawing Format |
The file type .dwg refers to AutoCAD Drawing Database file types. These file store all the data created by the AutoCad software in a database format. Mostly these database files contain digital data of the 2D and 3D images rendered in the AutoCAD software. There have been incremental improvements in the file format over the years from AutoCAD.
| File Extension | CAD |
| Full Name | CAD Drawing Format |
File with a .CAD extension contains CAD data, such as 2 and 3D dimensions and the geometry of parts. They are used to store projects of designed products and parts. In the newer editions of the software, the format has been substituted by BBCD files.
What is file format conversion?
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "DWG") to another (referred to as "CAD"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, DWG file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format DWG to format CAD becomes essential.
So, how can we perform DWG to CAD file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format DWG and transforming it into format CAD. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of DWG to CAD converters.

How to convert the DWG file to CAD?
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of DWG to CAD. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the DWG file:
- Please indicate on your computer the source file DWG, the format of which you are going to change
- Load the DWG file to the application
- Select the output format of the CAD file (the one that we want to achieve)
- Select the location to save the output file CAD on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
- Confirm conversion
- Wait for a moment
- Enjoy the converted CAD file that can be found in the location selected in step 4
