What is a DRWDOT file?
A DRWDOT file is a drawing template created by Dassault Systemes SolidWorks. It contains drawing document properties, which can be applied when an engineer creates a new SolidWorks drawing (.SLDDRW file).
More Information
Dassault Systemes SolidWorks is a professional CAD program that engineers use to create 3D models of industrial parts. Engineers can also use SolidWorks to create 2D vector drawings of a part or assembly. Those drawings are saved as DRWDOT files.
If an engineer knows they'll want to reuse the document properties associated with an existing SolidWorks drawing, they can save those properties as a DRWDOT template. Then, they can select the DRWDOT file and apply the template's properties when creating new drawings.
