> Autodesk® DWF Viewer
Download the free Autodesk DWF Viewer to view and print
2D and 3D drawings, maps and models in DWF -- the industry
standard for sharing data-rich design files electronically.
Small, fast, and secure, DWF preserves the fidelity
and integrity of designs and allows anyone to access
the complex design data without the originating design
application. DWF files are easy to create and
post to the web, and support up to 60 million dpi -
the precision required for complex design data.
Features:
New 3D DWF Files
View high-fidelity 3D models published from Autodesk
software including Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk Inventor
Professional. Retain full visual and printing
fidelity with highly compressed files, which can be
1/25th the size of native Autodesk files. Orbit,
pan, zoom, and navigate assembly structure of a model,
or navigate quickly to standard views. Show and
hide, view as transparent, or isolate components.
View 3D component properties and mass properties.
Select wireframe or shaded views and print selected
views of 3D DWF models.
Enhanced Features
Optimized viewing and printing performance for raster-
and text- based DWF files. Ability to view and
navigate markups made in Autodesk DWF Composer.
Improved access to intelligent design data. More
flexible customization - enhanced application programming
interfaces (API's) for controlling visibility of layers.
Design Intelligence
View object properties or object database links
from Autodesk Architectural Desktop, and feature classification
names from Autodesk Map 3D. Organize object properties
with categories, sorting to identify groups of object
properties for bills of materials, change orders, and
more. Access component and mass properties published
from Autodesk Inventor 9. View markups and markup
properties published from DWF Composer, including date
and time stamp with reviewer information. Access
sheet properties such as sheet name, drawing author,
and time stamp.
Open and Customizable
Easily post DWF files online and share plans, maps
and part catalogs on your website or intranet.
View and embed files in Microsoft Office applications
(Word, Excel, or PowerPoint) with full pan, zoom, and
print functionality. Easily customize Autodesk
DWF Viewer within third-party applications. Use
Autodesk DWF Toolkit - an open, published specification
available free of charge -- including technology libraries
with C++ code.
