The DWL2 ( .DWL2) file is a drawing lock file associated with AutoCAD. Developed by Autodesk, AutoCAD is a commercial 2D and 3D computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting software application used for creating precise drawings as well as models. The program uses the DWL2 file to store a lock that locks the associated drawing "read only" if the creator of the drawing wants to keep others from making changes or copying its content.
Compatibility and Associations
DWL2 files are compatible with multiple platforms such as Windows, Mac, and Linux. The associated program such as AutoCAD can run on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and web browsers. Some alternative file extensions used by AutoCAD include .DXF, .DWT, .DWG, and more.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .DWL2) 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 .DWL2 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 .DWL2 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 .DWL2 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 .DWL2 extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .DWL2 file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .DWL2 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 .DWL2 file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .DWL2 file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .DWL2 file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
