File extension .CWF

|---|---|---|
| CorelDRAW Workspace Format | Corel | Settings Files |
CWF ( .CWF) files are associated with the CorelDRAW vector graphic editor and are a part of CorelDRAW Workspace, which saves various short-term settings of CorelDRAW that is not stored in any other type of file. Originally created for CorelDraw 10, the CWF format stores general workspace configuration like toolbars positions, window size, color settings etc, as well as the state of the library palettes.
CWF files are only used to store the current status of the environment which is not needed for a project in itself. The workspace settings themselves can include appearance configurations, favorites selections and pictures.
Other Similar File Types
Other file extensions related to CorelDRAW Workspace are: .AFT, .LCF, .ENG, .CDT, .LST and others.
Appropriate Conversion
CWF files can't be converted since those are part of a workspace set-up and can only be opened through their host application, i.e. CorelDraw 7, 8, 9, 10 and X4 editions. Despite that, the graphics stored in some CWF files can be imported to some other applications also.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CWF) 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 .CWF 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 .CWF 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 .CWF 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 .CWF extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CWF file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CWF 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 .CWF file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CWF file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .CWF file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
