The Drawing (DWG) file format developed by Autodesk is a proprietary file format and the native file format for a number of proprietary CAD systems.

There have been two efforts at making a free software library for reading/writing DWG. The most advanced of these is LibreDWG.

You can read about the struggles of supporting DWG in free software in the libregraphicsworld article LibreDWG revived, starts getting regular releases

Free software known to support DWG is limited to FreeCAD from version 0.19. You can read the discussion in Let's talk about libredwg support.

The Open Design Alliance has a freely available proprietary ODA File Converter for converting between different versions of .dwg and .dxf
