It seems like both DWG and PLY are CAD formats, so there is a possibility that AutoCAD can convert them between each other. Such dwg to ply conversion is most likely used for export of 3D models or CAD files to a polygon only graphics format.

The tables with software actions are a good pointer for what a certain program does with various file types and often may give users a good hint how to perform certain file conversion, for example the above-mentioned dwg to ply. However, it is not perfect and sometimes can show results which are not really usable because of how certain programs work with files and the possible conversion is thus actually not possible at all.

DWG
Files with dwg extension are used for the original CAD format originally introduced in Autodesk AutoCAD. The latest version of DWG format is usuaually proprietary and can only be created in AutoCAD. Other CAD programs can usually import it but not create its proprietary form. Because of this, DWGs are often exported to DXF interchange format so that they can be seamlessly used in other CAD programs.
PLY
Files with ply extension can be found as various polygon 3D data files generated by many 3D modeling or CAD programs.
