What is DWG format? What program open .DWG file?

Question: I received a .dwg file of a drawing in an e-mail, but none of the programs on my computer will open the file to let me view it. Which programs will let me?

Answer: Hi, DWG means drawing, it is a CAD file. You will need to have the AutoCAD program or ZWCAD+program to open it. ZWCAD+ provide 30 days for free trial. 

Here are some information from wiki: 
DWG(DraWinG) is a binary file format used for storing two and three dimensional design data and metadata. It is the native format for several CAD packages including AutoCAD, ZWCAD and so on. The .bak (drawing backup), .dws (drawing standards), .dwt (drawing template) and .sv$ (temporary automatic save) files are also DWG files.

What is .bak file? ZWCAD saves that for what?

Question: Hi I just began to use CAD, and I found that ZWCAD save .bak file for each .dwg in a folder. What does .bak file use for? How can I open it?

Answer: Hi, .bak file is a drawing backup file for CAD DWG file, which saved by ZWCAD. When you editing the DWG file, your previous revision saved by last time is stored in the .bak file. Why we need the .bak file? Because drawings can become corrupted due to a system crash, power failure, etc. When your drawing corrupt, you can still find your last revision from the .bak file, just change the extension .bak to .dwg, or use ZWCAD+ Drawing Recovery Manager to recover .BAK files automatically.
