Hi Yakov_Avrahami_054 ,

That is not possible I am afraid. You would have to tell all users to sync the folder the file or files are in and get them to open the file from their local storage. However as you have no co-authoring with DWG files, that causes more problems as the file is likely to become locked and users changes get overwritten. You will probably be best turning on checkin/Checkout in the SharePoint document library the file is in to stop that issue. Each user that wants to make changes would then check out the file, make their changes and check it back in.
