Procedure

Quick Reference

You can set options for publishing, such as output file location, multi-sheet name options, file security (password protection), and whether or not to include layer information. You can also decide what types of information to reveal in your published DWF, DWFx, and PDF files and whether to publish drawings automatically.

You can include the following types of metadata:

• Sheet set properties (must publish using the Sheet Set Manager)
• Sheet properties (must publish using the Sheet Set Manager)
• Block standard properties and block custom properties and attributes
• Properties contained in custom objects

You use a block template (BLK) file to determine which blocks and properties to include in your published DWF, DWFx, or PDF file. You use the Block Template dialog box to create or modify the settings of a block template (BLK) file. You can also use BLK files created with the Attribute Extraction wizard.

When you change settings in the Publish Options dialog box, you can save the settings to the Drawing Set Descriptions (DSD) file to reuse the next time you publish drawings.

You can also specify whether a DWF, DWFx, or PDF file is created automatically when a drawing is saved or closed in the Auto Publish Options Dialog Box.
