New description:

 To be able to upload tech drawings, I appended two rows in wp/wp-
 includes/functions.php to allow .dwg and .dwt files to be recognized and
 allowed.
 Would be nice to have them included in core if there is no risks with
 allowing.

 {{{
 # within file     wp/wp-includes/functions.php


 function wp_get_mime_types() {

         return apply_filters(
                 'mime_types',
                 array(
 ...
                         'dwg'                          => 'image/vnd.dwg',
                         'dwt'                          =>
 'application/x-autocad',
 ...

                 )
         );
 }
 }}}

Comment:

 Hi @ahjelmqv,

 Generally use of a plugin to enable less-common file mime types is best,
 as not every file type can be included in WordPress.

 In general, use of a plugin to enable site-specific mime-types is the best
 route for most people.
