What is a CWG file?

CWG files mostly belong to ChemDraw. Your CWG file may belong to one of two main groups.
ChemWin drawing file: This file is created with ChemDraw and holds chemical structure data. It contains information about atoms, bonds, and molecular layouts. Use ChemDraw to open and work with this type of file.
Castle Wolfenstein game save / CuttleCAD drawing file: In other cases, a CWG file stores game progress or drawing data from a game. To view this type, launch the original game or use specialized community tools.
  • Use ChemDraw for chemical drawings.
  • Use the game program or its tools for game save files.
  • How can I open a CWG file?

    You need a suitable software like ChemDraw to open a CWG 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 CWG file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a CWG file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
