What is the DRW File Extension?

A file is saved as 2 parts on the storage device: directory info (which is comprised by file name, time stamp and size info, etc.) and data content. If the files with original file names and folder structures cannot be opened, one possible reason is the corrupted directory info. What is a DRW file? Files with the.DRW extension contain images in vector format that use lines or paths instead of dots to represent the drawing. The DRM format is a general format for saving drawings, and it is used by many different graphic programs. Program (s) that can open the.DRW file.

As we mentioned, some programs have proprietary file extensions. You might have seen .doc, .exe, and .pdf at the end of a file name. Those are file extensions that indicate the file type and provide a clue as to which programs might be able to open a file.

Warning: Be sure that you trust the source that gave you the file, as you might be trying to open a file that contains malware. Always run your file through a malware checker before trying to open it.

Windows typically hides file extensions for known file types, which means that you shouldn't see the extension for most files. If you're unfamiliar with the file extension, right-click on it and click on 'Properties'. The 'General' tab will reveal the filename and the extension suffix. You can now Google it to learn more about the file type.

Opening the DRW File

Once you know the type of content the DRW file contains (graphics, media, text), you can add the file extension to the default file associations in the computer's settings and try to open it again. If you don't have the matching software, you will have to download it.

If that still does not work, you may have to contact the developer for more guidance. For example, if you know that you have DRW files, you will be able to Google to find out which software packages use the DRW file extension.

If you have the software on your PC, but you still can't open the file, you should get in touch with the software developer of that file type. The most common DRW-related software includes Pro/ENGINEER Drawing, Personal Designer CAD Drawing Database (4D Graphics Inc.), and MacDraw Drawing. If it's not included in the developer chart below, a quick web search of those software titles can help you find the contact information of the developer that can help.
