Review
A published DWF or DWFx electronic drawing set can be viewed and plotted
with Autodesk Design Review.
A published drawing set is the digital equivalent of paper plots created from
your original drawings. The drawing set, which is saved as a DWF or DWFx
file, can be viewed or plotted by anyone using Autodesk Design Review.
NOTE For DWFx files, you can view the 2D geometry of a DWFx file using Internet
Explorer 7.
With Autodesk Design Review, you can open, view, and print all DWF or
DWFx file formats and other raster format images. You can pan, zoom, and
view individual drawing sheets and viewports. You can also view layer
information, block information and attributes, and custom properties, if they
are included in the DWF or DWFx file. As you move your cursor across DWF
or DWFx geometry in the viewer, objects with associated data are displayed
with a red highlighting effect. For more information on Autodesk Design
Review, see
Review and Markup Files with Design Review on page 1493.
