DWG (from drawing) is a proprietary binary file format used for storing two- and three- dimensional design data and metadata.

It is the native format for several CAD packages including DraftSight, AutoCAD, IntelliCAD (and its variants), Caddie and Open Design Alliance compliant applications.

In addition, DWG is supported non-natively by many other CAD applications.

The.bak (drawing backup).dws (drawing standards).dwt (drawing template) and.sv$ (temporary automatic save) files are also DWG files.

BricsCAD is a software application for computer-aided design (CAD) developed by Bricsys.

The company was founded in 2002 by Erik de Keyser, a longtime CAD entrepreneur.

In 2011 Bricsys acquired the intellectual property rights from Ledas for constraints-based parametric design tools permitting the development of applications in the areas of direct modeling and assembly design.

Bricsys is headquartered in Ghent, Belgium, has additional development centers in Nizhny Novgorod and Novosibirsk, Russia, and in Bucharest, Romania, and is a founding member of the Open Design Alliance.

In 3D computer graphics, 3D modeling (or three-dimensional modeling) is the process of developing a mathematical representation of any three-dimensional surface of an object (either inanimate or living) via specialized software.

The product is called a 3D model.

It can be displayed as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering or used in a computer simulation of physical phenomena.

The model can also be physically created using 3D printing devices.

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer systems (or) to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design.

CAD software is used to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a database for manufacturing.

CAD output is often in the form of electronic files for print, machining, or other manufacturing operations.

The term CADD (for Computer Aided Design and Drafting) is also used.

Building information modelling (BIM) is a process involving the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places.

Building information models (BIMs) are files (often but not always in proprietary formats and containing proprietary data) which can be extracted, exchanged or networked to support decision-making regarding a building or other built asset.

Current BIM software is used by individuals, businesses and government agencies who plan, design, construct, operate and maintain diverse physical infrastructures, such as water, refuse, electricity, gas, communication utilities, roads, bridges, ports, tunnels, etc.
