High-Fidelity 2D and 3D Viewing and Printing

PROBLEM
Project teams need a comprehensive solution for publishing, distributing, reviewing, and
printing engineering data. Companies work with multiple file formats and need an easy-touse
solution to deploy throughout their workforce.
Designers invest tremendous time in their engineering and architectural designs and need
to protect them from unauthorized viewing and editing. They need a file format that
securely protects their intellectual property.
In addition to security, designers need a file format that preserves the rich information
contained in their designs. For viewing and printing, it’s essential that the designs are
presented with the full fidelity of the original CAD drawing.
SOLUTION
Autodesk DWF Composer is built around the DWF file format, an ideal format for sharing
engineering drawings, maps, and models. It is the fastest, easiest way to communicate
design information while ensuring secure and efficient collaboration at any stage of the
project or product lifecycle.
Autodesk DWF Composer supports the high-fidelity viewing and printing of 2D and 3D
DWF files. When viewing DWF files, you see the design as the designer intended—it’s
essentially an electronic plot. DWF files include rich design information, such as layers,
views, sheet properties, units, and scale. When printing DWF files, users see an accurate
rendition of the original design. You can also print to scale with precision. Autodesk DWF
Composer also provides access to other printing features to print to any Microsoft®
Windows® -compatible printer and accommodate available hardware.
For users who need to view or print designs in the native AutoCAD or Autodesk Inventor
file formats, Autodesk DWF Composer comes with a DWG Viewer that enables viewing,
plotting, and publishing to DWF format from DWG files, as well as Autodesk Inventor View
to view and plot Autodes k Inventor filesTo view a raster, simply drag the image into
