What is a .DWT file?
DWT is an AutoCAD drawing template, used to start new drawings. Created and opened by Autodesk AutoCAD.
- Did you know
- DWT is an AutoCAD drawing template, storing the standard layers and styles a firm reuses.
- Opening a DWT in AutoCAD spawns a fresh drawing seeded with its contents rather than editing the template itself.
- AutoCAD ships ready-made DWT templates preset to drafting standards such as ISO and ANSI sheet sizes.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify CAD files and read header metadata: AutoCAD DWG (DXF now opens as a 2D drawing preview - see Diagrams), SolidWorks (SLDPRT, SLDASM, plus .sldreg Settings Wizard backups - release year, settings groups and the saved registry keys - and SOLIDWORKS Visualize .svap appearances and .svpj projects, opened as the ZIP packages they are), Fusion 360 (F3D), Inventor (IPT, IAM), Rhino (3DM) and Grasshopper (GH, GHX), SketchUp (SKP), 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, Houdini, ZBrush, Maya, CATIA, Eagle, and KiCad.
- Depth of analysis
- .DWT is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .DWT file
- Drag a .DWT file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
