Quick Reference

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.

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.

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.
