How to Modify DWG Files
DWG files are drawings presented in either two or three dimensions and are authored by the AutoCAD drafting application. Although DWG files are created natively in AutoCAD, other applications can open and modify these types of files. TurboCAD Deluxe and ArchiCAD are both applications that can open and edit DWG files.
