Can’t open CAD DWG file? With the help of the tool—VeryPDF AutoCAD to PDF Converter, you can convert DWG to PDF and view the PDF instead.
DWG is a binary file format created by CAD (Computer Aided Design) applications, which is used industrially by architects, engineers and designers for 2D and 3D drawings. DWG file contains vector image data (provides instructions to the CAD application about how to display the DWG on screen) and metadata (contain a variety of information on the file including location specific data and also client data).
PDF is a file format developed by Adobe Systems for representing documents independent of operating system, application software or hardware. A PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a 2D document that includes the text, fonts, images and 2D vector graphics that compose the document.
