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 can be 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, sheet and sheet set properties, 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 about Autodesk Design Review, see
Review and Markup Files with
Design Review
on page 2119.
Recipients of drawing sets in DWF or DWFx format do not have to own or
know the program. From anywhere in the world, they can view and print
high-quality layouts using Autodesk Design Review.
Autodesk Design Review runs as a stand-alone application or embedded in
any application that supports ActiveX controls, such as Microsoft
®
Internet
Explorer.
