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.
The file format is designed by Autodesk. You can download free DWG viewer from Autodesk website. Or you can check with AIGraph CAD Viewer, a lightweight but powerful viewer
DXF is an AutoCad program file and to open it you would need AutoCad program or search the net for'dxf file' and find a program to convert dxf to another common windows graphics format.
Many other vector drawing programs will open .DWGs.
I use Corel Draw (version 11) which does work with AutoCad drawings.

GstarCAD MC is mainly designed for viewing drawings, it can read .dwg, .dxf and OCF files, but cannot save drawings. GstarCAD MC Pro can read .dwg, .dxf and OCF files; and it has a lot of extended functions for communicate and design on site.
DXF represents "Drawing Exchange Format." It is a format for computer-aided design files, developed by Autodesk. The CAD program AutoCAD uses its own native file format, DWG; DXF is intended to be a sort of imitation of DWG.
.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.
Use the function of GstarCAD - "Start>Export OCF file".
DeltaCad is truly the easiest Cad program to learn and has very few limitations as long as you do 2D. It will appeal to the "memory challenged persons" , not much to remember, it is logic and has few toolbars. It is cheap <$40 It is for the imaginative person, it can do anything from sketches to architectural, forms, etc. It can read and write dwg files. It is fun to import AutoCad dwg files and analize the convoluted ways of "professionals AutoCad draftspersons" jobs.

Well some freeware applications are better than paid products. For example I get some PDF files at hand and I want to convert PDF to DWG files so that I can open and edit in AutoCAD and other popular engineering programs. I search PDF to DWG Freeware online and find it is really useful. So I trust freeware online.
The file extensions are: .dwg .dxf .dwf .dng and many image files, like jpeg, gif, pdf, tiff, tga, .eps, and so forth. (As inserts)
In that case you need to professional software restores autocad files any version. I would suggest you the next one tool supports fixing autocad 2000-2012 .dwg files.
Files that can only be read (data can be retirieved) are called read-only files. You cannot write any data into a read-only file (you cannot edit it).
AutoCAD is a drafting and design program used in many industries. You can create drawings, blueprints, solid models, etc... Creates files with extensions such as .dwg, .dxf.
