Quick Reference

To create a DWF, DWFx, or PDF file using Windows Explorer

1. Launch Windows Explorer.
2. Select the drawings to publish to DWF or DWFx.

   Use Shift or Ctrl + Click to select contiguous or non-contiguous files.

   NoteYou can publish only 2D DWF or 2D DWFx files using the shortcut menu in Windows Explorer.
3. Right-click the selection. Click Publish DWF.

   The Specify DWF File dialog box appears in a temporary AutoCAD session.

4. Specify Files of type as either *.dwfx or *.dwf.
5. Type a file name, or select a file.

   AutoCAD publishes the drawing file with the following options:

   DWF type = Multi-sheet

   Password = Disabled

   Layer information = Don’t include

   Block information = Don’t include

   By default, the DWF/ DWFx/PDF file will be saved to the same location as the selected drawing file/s.
