Export to DWF

Export to DWF

DWF (Design Web Format) is Autodesk's own format for use when designing Design Data and
is an excellent alternative to PDF (Portable Document Format).

DWF is a safe and easy way of exchanging design data / information, and by making use of
DWF, it is ensured that there are no unintended changes to the project files as the format is
locked against changes (as opposed to PDF ...) and it is also possible for builders and other
collaborators who can not open files in Revit, to follow the design process continuously and
comment on this in the DWF file.
DWF files are also significantly smaller than the original rvt files and are therefore easy to send
electronically or to publish on a web page.
DWF files can be opened using the free "Design Review" application - can be freely
downloaded from
http://www.autodesk.com/designreview.
