Would you like to offer Autodesk DWF or DWFx* drawing files via a web page? Find out how in this post.
DWF is Autodesk’s proprietary ‘Electronic Paper’ format. DWF is like a PDF. Most would say that DWF is better than PDF, but unfortunately it just hasn’t taken off like PDF has. This a great shame, because Autodesk’s DWF software is all FREE (Our favourite Price!).
I recently came across this post on Volker Joseph’s ‘Beyond the paper’ Blog showing how to ‘Open DWF/DWFx Files in Google Chrome‘
I followed the instructions, and TA DA – DWF in my Chrome Browser!
Notice the tools are all there too, Sweet!
