Autodesk DWG is a proprietary 3D geometry format native to Autodesk AutoCAD. Although it doesn't have modern material support, it is widely used in the BIM and CAD industries.
Note:
The Autodesk DWG importer only imports 3D aspects of the file. It silently drops all 2D elements. In Autodesk AutoCAD, you can convert unsupported objects (such as polylines) using one of the following commands: AECTOACAD, CONVTOMESH, CONVTOSOLID, or CONVTOSURFACE.Import options
