What is a DWF file?
DWF (Design Web Format) is a file format developed by Autodesk to share rich design data without giving access to the original DWG or CAD files. It offers a highly compressed and secure way to distribute 2D and 3D drawings.
DWF files are optimized for viewing and markup, making them suitable for collaboration among stakeholders who do not need to edit the original design. They can include metadata, layers, and hyperlinks, and are often used in construction and engineering workflows.
How to open DWF files
DWF files can be opened with Autodesk Design Review or Autodesk Viewer (web-based). Some CAD applications and browser plugins also support viewing DWF files.
AnyConv can convert DWF to PDF or other accessible formats if you just need to view or share the file.

What is a DGN file?
DGN is a CAD file format developed by Bentley Systems and used primarily in MicroStation. It is commonly employed in large infrastructure and civil engineering projects, such as roads, railways, and utilities planning.
There are two main variants: V7 (older, 16-bit) and V8 (modern, 64-bit), with V8 being the most commonly used today. DGN files support complex 2D and 3D designs and are a key part of many public sector engineering workflows.
How to open DGN files
DGN files can be opened using Bentley MicroStation or compatible tools like Bentley View and AutoCAD (with specific import settings). Some viewers support read-only access.
