If they turn out to be larger than a few K and contain hash, just close notepad or your text editor and rename those files to. If you try opening them in notepad or another text editor, you will either encounter a bunch of hash (real DWG) or some short list of information about the actual drawing file and who locked the file out last (DWL). If that is the case, how big are the DWL files? if they are just a few k then they are most likely just DWL files as I first described them, containing a few lines of information to lock out users from the real drawing file of the same name.

If there is only a DWL by the name of your drawing and no DWG, either the transfer process into Mac applied the wrong extension, or the wrong file got copied into your folder. Are the DWG files there alongside the DWL files in the same folder? If so, then something in the transfer process locked them. Since you areĀ on Mac I'm not sure what you are running into.
