About the DWG format
DWG — AutoCAD Drawing
DWG is Autodesk's proprietary native CAD format and the most widely used CAD file format in the world. It stores all elements of an AutoCAD drawing with complete fidelity and is the primary working format for architects, engineers, and designers using AutoCAD.
Common uses
- AutoCAD architectural and engineering drawings
- Mechanical and civil design projects
- Construction documentation and as-built drawings
- Sharing native CAD files between AutoCAD users
About the GZ format
GZ — Gzip Compressed File
GZ is a single-file compression format based on the DEFLATE algorithm, standardized in RFC 1952. Unlike ZIP or TAR, gzip compresses only a single file. It is ubiquitous on UNIX/Linux systems and is used heavily in HTTP content encoding (gzip compression for web pages), log compression, and as the compression layer in TGZ archives.
Common uses
- Compressing individual files on Linux/macOS
- HTTP content encoding for faster web page delivery
- Log file compression on servers
- Single-file distribution with good compression
