Hi,

You are experiencing this error because you don't have the right applications/software to open this file format. DWG file formats are used to store two or three dimensional design commonly used by technical designers and can only be opened by a software called AutoCAD. If you really need to open those files then you will have to install this said application https://www.autodesk.com/products/autocad/overview?html=fragment-autocad_help_rightnav_widget2&topic_id=WS1a9193826455f5ffa23ce210c4a30acaf-5f3e&topic_name=Alterar%2520as%2520configura%25C3%25A7%25C3%25B5es%2520de%2520estilo%2520de%2520plotagem

Hi,

 

The possible cause of this error is that there is something in the file that dwg cannot handle dwg files have their own file format. For you to resolve this problem. I suggest you use the most recent version of MapSetToolkit, and you can download it at http://www.geopainting.com/en/limitations.html

 

After downloading the software, follow the simple steps on the screen to complete the installation process. It is as simple as 1 2 3 4.

 

Alternatively, you can still download same dwg file extension here

 

Thanks.
