■ Review. Reviewers add digital comments and markup to the DWF file using
callouts, text, shapes, dimensions, stamps, and custom symbols, saving
changes to the DWF file.
■ Return. Reviewers send the marked-up DWF file back to the original
publisher.
■ Revise. The designer uses the publishing software to import the marked-up
DWF file, referring to comments in context to revise the original design
quickly.
■ Republish. After revising the original content in the publishing software,
the designer republishes an updated DWF file, a new sheet set, or model,
to begin the digital design workflow again.
The digital workflow can be repeated indefinitely to support the iterative
nature of the design and review process.
Use the Publish to Web Wizard to Create Web Pages
The Publish to Web wizard simplifies the process of creating DWF or DWFx
files and formatting them for display in HTML pages.
The Publish to Web wizard provides a simplified interface for creating
formatted web pages that include DWF, DWFx, JPEG, or PNG images of
drawings.
■ DWF or DWFx format does not compress the drawing file.
■ JPEG format uses lossy compression; that is, some data is deliberately
discarded to greatly reduce the size of the compressed file.
■ PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format uses lossless compression; that
is, no original data is sacrificed to reduce the size of the file.
Using Publish to Web, you can quickly and easily create an attractively
formatted web page, even if you are not familiar with HTML coding. After
creating a web page, you can post it to an Internet or intranet location.
Following are some examples of ways in which you can use the Publish to
Web wizard to create a web page:
■ Templates. You can select one of four templates for the layout of your web
page or customize your own template.
