DRaWing (DRW)

DRW (DRaWing) is a native format used in the popular Micrografx Designer CAD/CAM/CAE application for the Windows operating system.

This file format is not supported in the non-vector toolkits. Read support and write support for this format are provided in the LEADTOOLS Vector Imaging Pro toolkit and are unlocked when the Vector features are unlocked.

LEADTOOLS supports versions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the DRW file format.
