What Are AutoCAD DWG Drawings?

AutoCAD DWG drawings are blueprints, schematics or drawings stored on a DWG file. The file contains 2D and 3D vector graphics making it ideal for developing design sketches. Being able to achieve a high level of detail with this file type provides visualization of product designs for manufacturing or development. DWG was developed by Autodesk and requires special CAD software to open.

CAD models can be built following a similar workflow as would be used when manufacturing a product or part. This also allows modifications and changes to be made at the design stage saving time and money. Software programmes such as Solidworks with this type of parametric design ability are used by the aerospace industry, transport and the energy sector for system and product development.
