Publish a georeferenced map in DWF format, for eventual display on the Web or on an intranet. DWF (Design Web Format™) is an open, secure file format developed by Autodesk for sharing engineering design data. DWF files are highly compressed, so they are smaller and quickly transmitted and viewed. This format can include object data or feature attributes, as well as the graphical elements of your map.
As long as you have assigned a coordinate system to all the model-space maps in your DWF file, the publishing operation will automatically convert the coordinate information to latitude/longitude coordinates. Autodesk Design Review 2008 can automatically navigate to a specific location when you enter coordinates, and displays coordinates of any location in the map when you move your mouse over that location. When your computer is integrated with a GPS device that uses the NMEA 0183 protocol, field workers can center the map to the coordinates provided by the integrated GPS device on your system, and display the “my coordinates” icon within the map.
Files in DWF format can be displayed using Autodesk® Design Review. For product information and a download link for this product, refer to the Autodesk Design Review page on the Autodesk website. Autodesk Design Review is the latest version of the Autodesk® DWF Viewer, and includes the ability to measure, mark up, stamp, review, convert, and aggregate DWF content.
