The primary file format for 2D and 3D drawing files created with AutoCAD is  .dwg . While other third-party  CAD  software applications can create  .dwg  files, AutoCAD uniquely creates RealDWG files. Using AutoCAD, any  .dwg  file may be saved to a derivative format. These derivative formats include: ·         Drawing Template Files  .dwt : New  .dwg  are created from a  .dwt  file. Although the default template file is  a...
