View a Published Drawing Set
A published drawing set is the digital equivalent of paper plots created from
your original AutoCAD drawings. The drawing set, which is saved as a DWF6
file, can be viewed or plotted by anyone using the external viewer, Autodesk
Express Viewer. With Autodesk Express Viewer, anyone can open, view, and
print all DWF file formats (including DWF6) and other raster format images.
You can also pan and zoom, and you can view layers, individual drawing
sheets, and viewports.
Autodesk Express Viewer runs as a stand-alone application, or embedded in
any application that supports ActiveX controls, such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer.
For more information about using Autodesk Express Viewer, see Help in
Autodesk Express Viewer.
Configure a DWF6 Driver (Advanced)
You are not likely to change the settings in the DWF6 ePlot Properties dialog
box often. However, when you need to make some subtle changes to your
plotter’s configuration, you can do so through the DWF6 ePlot Properties dia-
log box. You can specify settings for color depth, display resolution, file com-
pression, handling of fonts, pen settings, and other options. When you cre-
ate DWF6 files, you use a plotter configuration file that uses a DWF6 driver
model. You must use the DWF6 ePlot.pc3 file to plot DWF6 files.
Overview of Creating or Modifying a DWF6
Configuration File
When you create DWF6 files, you use a plotter configuration file that uses a
specific DWF6 driver model. Design Publisher uses only the DWF6 ePlot.pc3
plotter configuration file. You can use the default DWF6 ePlot.pc3 plotter
configuration file as installed, or you can make changes to it using the Prop-
erties button in Plot. This invokes the pc3 editor, which allows you to make
changes directly to the DWF6 ePlot.pc3 file. Although you can save DWF6
ePlot.pc3 files under other names for use with the Plot command, no other
name will work with the Publish command. Any changes you make to the
DWF6 ePlot.pc3 file are used whenever you plot or publish DWF6 files until
you change the settings of your DWF6 ePlot.pc3 file again.
