DWG is file format for 2D and 3D design data, DWG in letters stands for "drawing".
To open a DWG and view it, you need a DWG viewer. There are many DWG viewers online, and you can try AutoDWG DWGSee.
You may open dwg file in classic manner with the help of Autocad program or if you have some troubles, make use tool below.

Two methods: Open a DGN file in Misrostation V8 and.... # File --> Saveas --> Select format to save: AutoCAD drawing files (*.dwg) # File --> Export --> DGN, DWG, DXF --> Select format to save: AutoCAD drawing files (*.dwg)
Use hopen command or use GstarCAD backup file manager to open, the dwh file will be saved as dwg file after you open it. See related link.

You Don't! :(
No. Contact owner of the original file and ask for a different format.
GstarCAD can export: DWG, DWF, PDF, WMF, BMP, EMF, SVG and OCF file formats. You can also open and save DXF, JPEG, TIF, PNG, GIF file formats.
After the accidents, you can use "Start>Drawing Utilities>Drawing Recovery Manager" to open the auto saved files for recovering. If the recovery manager didn't start up properly, you will find the .sv$ file with same name under the auto save folder, change its extended name to ".dwg" to open it. Or, if the auto save file was not generated, you can find the .bak file with same name under the saving folder; change its extended name to ".dwg" to open it.
The reason why the DWG is not showing the preview of the drawings in GstarCAD is because GstarCAD needs to save the thumbnail. The way to save the thumbnail is Tools>Options>Open and then Save.
.dwg is the default drawing format of GstarCAD; at present, GstarCAD is compatible with ever version of .dwg and .dxf files from 2.5 to 2010, it is means GstarCAD is compatible from AutoCAD 2.5 to AutoCAD 2012. If you are using AutoCAD 2013, you have to exchange the file with GstarCAD and save it as earlier .dwg version before 2010. By the way, GstarCAD will be compatible with AutoCAD 2013 soon.
For Microstation usersYou can use the saveas to get DWG/DXF from DGNYou can also use the "File --> export --> DGN, DWG, DXF" to get DXF filesFor AutoCAD usersCommand: DGNIMPORTAvailable in AutoCAD versions:AutoCAD MAPAutoCAD 2006~2010AutoCAD LT 2008~2010For other AutoCAD users and non-AutoCAD usersGet a plugin or look for stand alone converters to convert DGN to DXF.
