GNU LibreDWG is a software library programmed in C to manage DWG computer files, native proprietary format of computer-aided design software AutoCAD. It aims to be a free software replacement for the OpenDWG libraries. The project is managed by the Free Software Foundation (FSF).
LibreCAD is a computer-aided design (CAD) application for 2D design. It is free and open-source, and available for Unix/Linux, macOS, and Windows operating systems.. Most of the interface and handle concepts are analogous to AutoCAD, making it easier to use for users with experience in this type of commercial CAD application.
FreeCAD's own main file format is FreeCAD Standard file format (.FCStd). [9] It is a standard zip file that holds files in a certain structure. [ 9 ] The Document. xml file has all geometric and parametric objects definitions. [ 9 ]
DWG (from drawing) is a proprietary [3] binary file format used for storing two- and three- dimensional design data and metadata.It is the native format for several CAD packages including DraftSight, AutoCAD, ZWCAD, IntelliCAD (and its variants), Caddie and Open Design Alliance compliant applications.
Other formats possibly not yet written: STEP - international standard for product data exchange ; G - BRL-CAD standard solid modeling open format including support for primitives, attributes, and arbitrary data storage; See also: Computer-aided design; CAD data exchange; Comparison of CAD, CAM and CAE file viewers; Electronic design automation
AutoCAD's native file formats are denoted either by a .dwg, .dwt, .dws, or .dxf filename extension. .dwg and, to a lesser extent, .dxf, have become de facto, if proprietary, standards for CAD data interoperability, particularly for 2D drawing exchange. [31] The primary file format for 2D and 3D drawing files created with AutoCAD is .dwg.
Design Web Format (DWF) is a file format developed by Autodesk for the efficient distribution and communication of rich design data to anyone who needs to view, review, or print design files. Because DWF files are highly compressed , they are smaller and faster to transmit than design files, without the overhead associated with complex CAD ...
AutoCAD DXF (Drawing Interchange Format, or Drawing Exchange Format) is a computer-aided design (CAD) data file format developed by Autodesk [2] to enable CAD data exchange and interoperability between AutoCAD on different computing platforms.
