What is a WG file?

WG files mostly belong to AutoCAD. WG files are not a single type of file format but are used mainly in two distinct ways.
A WG file is a backup file for AutoCAD drawings. These files act as a stored version of a CAD drawing backup. They often contain the same data as a primary drawing file and are useful when a recovery is needed. To open these, you can use AutoCAD or a compatible DWG viewer. More details are available on the AutoCAD webpage.
In some of instances, a WG file is used as a flavor wheel configuration file. In this role, it holds settings that control the layout and data for a flavor wheel generated by specialized software. You can open these files with the Flavor Wheel Generator or even a plain text editor if you simply need to view the configuration.
To view or open your WG file:
  • If it is a CAD drawing backup, launch AutoCAD or another DWG-compatible viewer.
  • If it is a flavor wheel configuration, open it with the Flavor Wheel Generator or inspect it in a text editor.
  • FilExt.com tip: Be sure to back up your file before making changes.

    How can I open a WG file?

    You need a suitable software like AutoCAD to open a WG file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your WG file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a WG file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
