Did you try changing the file extension to .DWG, for opening on your PC?

Hi @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a new member to the AutoCAD forum. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

Are you having problems opening on Android? Here is a link to the DWG viewer on Google Play. If you are trying to find a viewer for your PC here is a link for some additional options.

I am not sure why the files show up as BIN extensions. Typically files will show up in DWG or DWF file extension types.
