What is a GDW file?

GDW files mostly belong to GetData Graph Digitizer. The GDW extension is used for different types of files based on their internal format.
GetData Graph Files use an XML format to store digitized graph information. These files contain data points and graph details captured by the GetData Graph Digitizer application.
Geotechnical Drawing Files use the JetDB format to hold drawing data for engineering and geological projects. They are associated with Geotechnical Desktop software and can work with tools like gINT for further processing.
Game World Data Files are binary files (using a GDED binary format) that contain game world information, as seen in data related to the Geneforge series.

If the file is XML-based, you can open it in a text or XML editor or via the GetData software.
If it is a JetDB file, use the corresponding geotechnical applications to view the drawing data.
If it is a game world binary file, it is best opened within its native game or with the appropriate modding tools.

FilExt.com tip: Examine the file’s content to decide which application and method suit its internal format.
