RealDWG

Give your products a competitive edge with the RealDWG™* developer toolkit that provides the ability to create applications with 100% DWG read/write capability. Deliver your products with the latest DWG™ technology available from Autodesk and get your products to market faster.

The RealDWG software library allows C++ and .NET developers to read and write AutoCAD® DWG and DXF™ files. RealDWG for AutoCAD® 2007 provides compatibility with AutoCAD DWG files; this includes read and write support for the AutoCAD 2000, 2000i, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006 releases and the features now available with AutoCAD 2007. RealDWG is also used internally by Autodesk to provide DWG support in non-AutoCAD-based products such as Autodesk® VIZ, Autodesk® Revit® and Autodesk Inventor® software products.

Software applications that link with the Autodesk RealDWG libraries are called host applications and do not require the presence of an AutoCAD application. Autodesk RealDWG does not impose a user interface and provides the framework to support in-memory file operations and custom objects. Autodesk RealDWG is licensed technology.
