- Description
- Developed by AutoCAD, a DWG is a 2D OR 3D database file that is used to store vector image data and metadata that describes the file content. The .DXF files are the ASCII versions of the .DWG files.
- A DXF file is a data file saved in a format developed by Autodesk and used for CAD (computer-aided design) vector image files, such as AutoCAD documents. DXF files are similar to .DWG files, but are more compatible with other programs since they are ASCII (text) based.
