DWF files in AutoCad for mac

I downloaded the trial of Autocad for mac 2014 so I could view and mark up DWF files that I have. However it won't let me open them. I am totally new this so any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Lisa

You should be able to attach DWF files as a reference.

Not sure how you will mark it up though, short of creating geometry in the DWG, then printing the whole thing to DWF again.

Maybe Autodesk 360 would be an option for you?

Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

Hi Lisa,
Unfortunately the answer to your question is NO.
AutoCAD for Mac doesn't have functionality to open DWF files (or even attach them as reference).
@rkmcswain - on-line help is wrong: It is one (of many) AutoCAD for Mac on-line help failings :(((

So using WEB version of Autodesk 360 is only one solution in this situation on Mac.
