The MWF file extension is known as the MapGuide Author Map Window File, which was developed by Autodesk. The MapGuide program is used to design maps using CAD and GIS data. It contains map descriptions like names, styles, background colors, layer settings and a source data server address. It has the ability to store map configurations and contact Autodesk Map Guide servers to download and display map data. It stores spatial data saved in binary format and can be exported in XML format to .mwx files. Spatial data includes cities, roads and country borders, and these details are the only pieces of data shown in a typical map. It combines vector and raster data into one single file. There are three versions of MapGuide, namely basic MapGuide, which is used for the creation of GIS applications, MapGuide Enterprise for Web-based applications and MapGuide OpenSource, which is a Web-based version. Files in MWF format can be opened with Autodesk MapGuide Viewer in Microsoft Windows platforms.how to open a .mwf file?

Be careful not to rename the extension on .mwf files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .mwf. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.leave a comment
