Publish 3D DWF Files
You can create and publish DWF or DWFx files of your 3D models and view
them with Autodesk Design Review.
You can generate DWF or DWFx files of your 3D models with nearly the same
visual fidelity as your original DWG files. You can create a single or multi-sheet
DWF or DWFx file with 2D and 3D model space objects. To access single sheet
3D DWF publishing, use the 3DDWF, EXPORT. To access multi-sheet
publishing with 2D and 3D model space objects use the PUBLISH command.
Recipients of 3D DWF or 3D DWFx files can view and print them using
Autodesk Design Review.
For product information and a download link for the Autodesk Design Review,
refer to the Products page on the Autodesk website.
For more information about using the Autodesk Design Review, see the
Autodesk Design Review Help system.
Publish Single and Multiple 3D DWF or 3D DWFx Files
To publish a single 3D DWF or 3D DWFx file, use the EXPORT or 3DDWF
commands. With either of those commands running, the model you are
currently working on is saved as a 3D DWF or 3D DWFx file.
To publish multiple 3D DWF or 3D DWFx files at one time, you use the
PUBLISH command. The Publish dialog box displays a list of all the sheet
names of the drawing files that are currently open. You can determine which
sheets are published to a 3D DWF or 3D DWFx file by adding or removing
sheets on the Sheet Name list.
Publishing Materials
If you assigned texture mapped materials to your models, those materials can
be published with the 3D DWF or 3D DWFx file. Texture map orientation and
scaling that is set in the drawing editor is retained in the published 3D DWF
or 3D DWFx file.
There are some limitations to materials publishing.
■ The Diffuse Map channel is the only mapping that gets published. If you
use Opacity, Reflection, or Bump maps in your material, they do not get
published.
■ Procedural materials such as Wood or Marble do not get published.
