GNU LibreDWG is a software library programmed in C to manage DWG computer files, native proprietary format of computer-aided design software AutoCAD. It aims to be a free software replacement for the OpenDWG libraries. The project is managed by the Free Software Foundation (FSF).
== Motivation == The proprietary DWG file format is a de facto standard for many types of CAD. Although the Open_Design_Alliance develops alternative libraries from the official Autodesk libraries there was a need for a fully free software alternative.
