Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it. You can also display a DWF file directly in the browser. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. If you cannot open your DWF file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message " How do you want to open this file?" or " Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. You need a suitable software like AutoCAD from Autodesk to open a DWF file. A DWF file can have several MIME types including model/vnd.dwf, image/x-dwf, image/vnd.dwf, application/dwf, drawing/x-dwf, and others. Multiple AutoCAD drawings ( DWG) can be stored in a single DWF file. Because of this compression, DWF files are smaller and faster to transfer between applications.
Due to the potentially large file size of its graphics content, DWF files use compressed ZIP format. A DWF file can be opened by many 3D design software but it is mostly created and opened with AutoCAD. text), text, hierarchy, and metadata saved in the Design Web (container) Format (DWF) created by Autodesk. Files with DWF extension are 2D/3D drawings, design data (e.g. This enables team members who do not use CAD applications to participate in the digital processes by viewing building, GIS, or product designs.DWF files mostly belong to AutoCAD by Autodesk. It is independent of the original application software, hardware, and operating system used to create that design data. DWF File FormatĭWF is an open, secure format designed specifically for sharing rich engineering design data. Many of third-party applications also make use of this format. The format evolved from 2D-only format to include 3D contents with the passage of time. Brief HistoryĪutodesk introduced the DWF file format in 1995 as part of Netscape Navigation plug-in, WHIP. The contents of DWF file format can be simple and include just a single sheet or complex enough to have fonts, color, and images. DWF doesn’t require the recipient to know about the usage of CAD software that created the original drawing. The reduced file size makes the distribution and communication of rich design data efficient. It contains graphics and text as part of design data and reduce the size of the file due to its compressed format. Design Web Format (DWF) represents 2D/3D drawing in compressed format for viewing, reviewing or printing design files.
