DRW file is a Micrografx Designer Drawing. Micrografx Designer is a vector-based graphics program. It was originally developed by Micrografx, which was bought by Corel in 2001. A file is saved as 2 parts on the storage device: directory info (which is comprised by file name, time stamp and size info, etc.) and data content. If the files with original file names and folder structures cannot be opened, one possible reason is the corrupted directory info. If these DRW-files are CorelDraw-files then you can (you have to) open them in CorelDraw and save them as DXF. The DXF-files can then be opened in AutoCAD.
The quick and simple way to handle your files is to get a quality piece of software, such as reaConverter.This software is extremely efficient in managing a wide range of batch conversions.As you will soon realize, reaConverter will help you avoid spending countless hours trying to figure out how to convert multiple DRW files as once.
