DWF/DWFx File Reader
Autodesk DWF was specifically developed by Autodesk as a file format for
architects, engineers, and GIS professionals to share 2D- and 3D- design data.
DWF files are highly compressed and retain detailed design information and
scale. The newest version of the DWF file format, DWFx, is based on the XML
Paper Specification (XPS) from Microsoft. 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.
