How to read DWG Online files without software

If you have ever studied engineering, such as construction, design, etc., it is not strange for a .dwg file - the extension of AutoCAD drawing software. To read DWG files, of course, we need AutoCAD software. However, what if there is no AutoCAD installed on our computer?

In this article, Thuthuatphanmem.vn will guide you how to open DWG files online with two websites: Online DXF and DWG Viewer and Autodesk Viewer Online.
