Dxf has a similar year file format as well. Many CAD applications on the market will open either dwg or dxf files, but check which formats the applications you'll be working on accept.

This format is used to open files from other CAD applications or to export your dwg file to another CAD application. Another file type you may run into is a dxf, which stands for drawing exchange format. But, if you're using AutoCAD version 2001 and I save my drawing in version 2004, you will not be able to open the dwg file. So, if I have saved my files as an AutoCAD 2000 drawing, you should be fine. This is a listing of the current years available for dwg files. However, if you're using AutoCAD version 2001, you can only open files that were saved back to a year equal to or prior to the version that you have. So, if you have the latest version of AutoCAD for Mac, like 2019, you should be able to open any dwg file saved in any year by any other AutoCAD product, whether it was version 2011 or 2001. With AutoCAD, you can always open backward, but not always forward. While the extension itself has not changed in years, there are versions of dwgs which you should be aware of. Autodesk did announce that they were developing an OXS version but as yet nothing has happened.- AutoCAD for Mac uses the same file format as the Windows version, which is a. The Autodesk Viewer didn't like my SoftWindows(I don't have VPC) it said I required Windows 98 which is weird cos that's what is installed on SoftWindows. I will give it another try in OS9 and see if I have better luck that way.

I did try that but in OSX the Reviewer java bit wouldn't start saying that a file was not found. (worked for me w/ drawing from the RP site) All other browsers would just hang at this point. I could only get Reviewer to open in IE5 in classic. Open 'index.html' (in published folder) in browser. Rename the DWF's you want to view as per files in the published folder. Publish as DWF and include reviewer environment.
