How to open file with .CDW extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .CDW file? Do you want to convert a .CDW file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

.CDW

The graphical CDW file extension is associated with the KOMPAS Document program. This CAD software, released by ASCON, is primarily used for designing and engineering 3D models. It is a computer-aided design (CAD) program that creates professional 2D drawing plans, 3D models, as well as detailed illustrations. CDW is the proprietary document format used by the KOMPAS software program to save interconnected drawing and project data.

File Contents

CDW documents are composed of vector designs and drawings such as diagrams, logos, symbols, shapes that require measurements. The documents also include 3D models which are created with parametric components that are placed within the design to give it precise geometrical characteristics. Additionally, images such as photographs can be imported into KOMPAS for use in a CDW document.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CDW) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .CDW extension.

When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.

Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .CDW file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .CDW extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .CDW extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CDW file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CDW file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.

In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .CDW file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CDW file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .CDW file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .CDW file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
