Acorn vector draw format
File type category:
Vector graphic file
Date updated: January 5, 2025
The drw file extension is associated with Acorn/Risc OS graphic application Draw.
The drw file contains draw similar to Windows WMF and SVG vector-based format.
Extensions used to map this file come in two varieties. The first is a word describing the file - in this case ".draw" which is ".drw" in the 8.3 parlance.
The second way of mapping the file is to use a literal form of the RISC OS filetype system. In this, three bytes provide a range of possible file types from &000 to &FFF (there are no extensions, just "type" metadata). In this case, Acorn DrawFiles would be given the extension ".aff" because the file is type &AFF, or 0xAFF, $HAFF.
