DWG file extensions belong to the category of 3D Image Files although they also accept 2D files in some applications. DWG files are quite crucial in the management of drawing files. They are used to create and maintain a database of 3D or 2D drawings all of which should have been developed by AutoCAD.
It also stores other design data that could have been created using AutoCAD in addition to other Autodesk software. File extension DWG files especially those related to the AutoCAD Drawing Database File are similar to DXF format that is another version of DWG files in the ASCII format. DWG files are also part of the Pro/ENGINEER Drawing, another design application that enables the production of 3d designs.
The tools that DWG files support on this application are meant to enhance the promotion of best practices in the design industry. DWG files are also used to help designers to comply with industry standards as well as those formulated by individual design companies. Opening and running file extension DWG should not pose any problem due to the high number of applications that are capable of managing them.
A good number of such applications also work across different operating systems. Given the multiplicity of such applications a good strategy in isolating and handling file extension DWG would require either using the programs that made them in a bid to access them or taking a cue from the location of such files on the computer.
IMSI TurboCAD and SolidWorks are some of the programs that one can use to open DWG files in Windows and Mac OS.

One such software is BravoDRAFT, Detailer that was developed specifically to support VAX workstations. Application made this development and the application was ported in PC thus coming in a pre-packaged manner.
