AutoVue
AutoVue for Buzzsaw enables you to view DGN files. This viewer can only be
used within Buzzsaw and does not offer the full capabilities of a fully licensed
version of AutoVue. If both AutoVue and AutoVue for Buzzsaw are installed
then AutoVue is used for viewing drawing files.
For more information go to the
viewer information website.

Creating a Markup File
Markups (redlines) are colored lines used together with text to mark areas of
a drawing that need discussion or revision. A markup is a layer that overlays
a drawing rather than a part of the basic drawing file. Markup data is stored
in files in DWF format in the Markups tab, the project tree, or your hard drive.
Markup files can be edited and re-saved as needed.
You can use markups to expedite a discussion or review cycle. People reviewing
the markups do not need AutoCAD to view them. For example, to provide a
DWF file to a project member for review and possible revision, copy the
drawing file to a project folder in your site and use the email notification
option to communicate the file location and that it is available for review.
The project member can review the file, add markups, and save it to the
Markups tab. You can then access and review the markup file and add
comments or make revisions as necessary.
