Why WhatsApp doesn't support DWG?
WhatsApp primarily supports media (images, videos, audio) and common document formats (like PDFs, DOCX, etc.). DWG files can be large and potentially insecure if not handled carefully, which is why WhatsApp limits the types of files it directly handles. DWG files require a CAD application to open and view, which is not available within WhatsApp itself.Then How to share DWG files via WhatsAp?

• Open the DWG file in a CAD application (like DWG FastView). • Use the "Export" function to save the drawing as a PDF. • Share the PDF file through WhatsApp.Share a DWG FastView Cloud Link:
• Upload the DWG file to a cloud service (like Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive). • Generate a shareable link for the file. • Send the link via WhatsApp. • The recipient can then open the link and download the file or view it in a browser (if supported by the cloud service).Save the file to local device and insert it in Whatsapp chat window:
