AutoCAD will only open drawing files that have the file extension ".dwg. Rename the drawing using Explorer or do this at a DOS prompt. If using Explorer, you will need to be sure the option "Hide file extensions for known file types" is not enabled. This option is found under the View pull-down menu under Options.
Once the file has been copied or renamed, use the OPEN command in AutoCAD to open the drawing.
do it simple , rename it to .dwg
Just Change the extension from Example.sv$ Into Example.dwg. your file will be open. (Example is file name it can be a different name)
