Do you know all the file formats used in CAD?

This refers to the suffix, the most common is dwg, and it is often used.

There are three main file formats commonly used by AutoCAD.

1. DWG file format:

This file format is a drawing saving format created by AutoCAD, which has now become the standard format for 2D CAD, and many other CADs also directly use DWG as the default working file format in order to be compatible with AutoCAD.

2. DXF file format:

This file format is actually a standard text file that is commonly used for the exchange of CAD designs, and is also commonly used by professionals in the CAD industry to read and write DWG files.

3. DWT file format:

This file format is a template file for AutoCAD, and users can directly save their favorite CAD working environment as a DWT file after setting it, which is convenient for the user's environment to quickly recover.

CAD Applications:

Engineering drawing: architectural engineering, decoration design, environmental art design, hydropower engineering, civil construction, etc.

Industrial drawing: precision parts, molds, equipment, etc.

Garment processing: garment plate making.

Electronics industry: printed circuit board design.

It is widely used in civil engineering, decoration, urban planning, garden design, electronic circuits, mechanical design, clothing, shoes and hats, aerospace, light industry and chemical industry.

In different industries, Autodesk has developed industry-specific versions and plug-ins, and has released AutoCAD Mechanical versions in the mechanical design and manufacturing industry.

AutoCAD Electrical was released in the electronic circuit design industry.

Autodesk Civil 3D was released for Survey, Earthworks, and Road Design.

The teaching and training in schools is generally the AutoCAD Chinese Simplified (Chinese) version.

The cloud computing 3D core technology of Qingfeng Interior Design Training Institution has improved the efficiency of CAD drawing.

Generally, companies in the clothing, mechanical, electronics, and construction industries that do not have special requirements use the AutoCAD simplified version.

So AutoCAD Simplified is basically a generic version.

And for mechanics, of course, there is also the corresponding AutoCAD Mechanical.

There are three main file formats commonly used in AutoCAD: 1, DWG file format 2, DXF file format 3, and DWT file format.

AutoCAD created a drawing saving format, has become the standard format of 2D CAD, Haochen CAD and some similar CAD software in order to be compatible with AutoCAD, also directly use DWG as the default working file. Another drawing file saving format, which is mainly used for data interaction with other software.

The graphics file format exchanged with the network can be output using the publish function or the DWF virtual printer, which cannot be opened with CAD but can be viewed with the DWF browser provided by AutoCAD. The DWF underlay function is available in AutoCAD, which allows you to insert the DWF into the drawing as a basemap, and can snap to assist in positioning other drawings.

Specifics of the file format:

1.DWG file format: This file format is a drawing saving format created by AutoCAD, which has now become the standard format for 2D CAD, and many other CADs also directly use DWG as the default working file format in order to be compatible with AutoCAD.

File Format: This file format is actually a standard text file that is commonly used for the exchange of CAD designs, and is also commonly used by professionals in the CAD industry to read and write DWG files.

File format: This file format is a template file of AutoCAD, and users can directly save their favorite CAD working environment as a DWT file after setting it, which is convenient for the quick recovery of the user environment.

In the AutoCAD File Type list, you can see *dwg，*.dws，*.dwt，*.DXF in four formats.

DWG format: is the standard file format of CAD drawing files, according to the installed CAD version will appear several versions, if you need to pass the drawing file to others, it is recommended to save the lower version;

DXF format: is a CAD data file format developed by Autodesk for CAD data exchange between AutoCAD and other software. It can be opened but it is not recommended to save it, unless it needs to be imported into the 3D Peerless Ant software;

DWS format: In order to protect your own documents, you can save CAD drawings in the format of DWS. Documents in DWS format can only be viewed and cannot be modified.

DWT format: It is a CAD template file, save the layer, annotation style, etc. as DWT format after setting, find the folder where the DWT template file is placed in the CAD installation directory, put the DWT file just created into it, and when using orange in the future, when creating a new document, it is good to select the template file and choose that, or simply name the file as the default template), replace the default template, and then just open it.

Just like we usually open CAD is a blank page, if you need to do the layer, title bar, etc., and then save it as our usual template.

1. Now there is a dwf file.

2. Open it directly with CAD, and you will find that there will be no content, unless you have installed a DWF reader.

3. Open CAD and find Insert.

4. Click Insert, find "Insert DWF Reference Base Map Shi Minsheng", and click.

5. Find the DWF document that needs to be opened, and click to open.

6. Click OK.

7. Specify any point of flavor insertion.

8. Determine the insertion ratio and press enter.

9. Done, this old front CAD will open the dwf file.
