Design Review enables your entire project or product team to view, print,
measure, and markup DWF, DWG, DXF, PDF and raster files containing 2D
and 3D content. Fully integrated with AutoCAD
®
, Inventor
®
, and Revit
®
,
Design Review helps you easily share drawings, models, maps, and design data
with team members, clients, consultants, contractors, partners, suppliers, and
other reviewers who may not own or know how to use design software.
You can share designs for use with Design Review by email, websites, intranets,
and physical media, such as DVDs. Download Design Review for free
(
http://www.autodesk.com/designreview-download). You can redistribute it on
your internal network or deploy it as part of your corporate PC image (as long
as it is distributed in its entirety, per the terms of the license agreement).
About DWF and DWFx
A DWF file can be used to organize sheet sets, models, animations, finite
element analyses (FEA), and map information, as well as other project-related
files, into a single, highly compressed file. Together with Design Review, DWF
files help you enhance collaboration by clearly communicating information,
such as design changes or corrections, all while reducing the printing and
shipping costs associated with distributing paper copies to your extended
team.
Much like Adobe
®
PDF files, DWF files are no more alterable than printed
paper copies. Unlike PDF files, however, DWF files retain detailed design
information and scale, and are therefore more suitable for architects, engineers,
and designers.
The newest version of the DWF file format, DWFx, is based on the XML Paper
Specification (XPS) from Microsoft. DWFx makes it easier to share design data
with reviewers who cannot install software.
DWFx files can be opened and printed instantly using the free Microsoft XPS
Viewer, which comes pre-installed on computers using the Microsoft Windows
Vista
®
operating system. (For the Windows XP operating system, the Microsoft
XPS Viewer can be downloaded directly from Microsoft.) Unlike DWF files,
DWFx files include additional information to display design data in the
Microsoft XPS Viewer. As such, DWFx files are larger than corresponding DWF
files.
TIP In Design Review, you can choose between DWFx and DWF as the default file
format on the General tab in the Options dialog box.
Currently, the Microsoft XPS Viewer does not support sheets containing 3D
content, password-protected content, object properties, restricted content, or
georeferenced map coordinates. In the Microsoft XPS Viewer, when attempting
