Opening DWG Files

In Bentley View, you can work directly in a DWG file. Once you choose a DWG file to open, Bentley View automatically enables the DWG workmode. Bentley View also automatically detects the release version of the DWG file (for example, 2018).

Note: Password-protected DWG files can be opened in Bentley View. When you attempt to open a password-protected file, a dialog prompts you to enter the password.
