    Is it possible to import Project freewheel markups into a DWG file, as in Design Review?

    This is definitely something on the road map. Imagine having a sharing
    session where multiple participants mark up the design. Each can see the
    other's markups in real time. At the end of the session, you do a SaveAs DWF
    and then use the Markup Set Manager to load all of the markups, regardless
    of which participant made the comment, into AutoCAD. You would have the
    power of Design Review combined with the power of real-time collaboration
    via the web. You could also place send the DWF file to others who only have
    Design Review, and perhaps no internet access, and those users could see the
    markups too. In this scenario, the existence of a DWF file containing the
    markup is known and prevalent.



    An alternative to this scenario would be some feature like "View session in
    AutoCAD."Behind the scenes, a DWF file would have to be created and loaded
    via the Markup Set Manager, but the user would be unaware. This is analogous
    to how ShareNow works today. A DWF is published and uploaded to Project
    Freewheel, but the user doesn't really see that. They simply click the
    ShareNow button and they see their design in the browser. They can then
    start a sharing session, pick a unique name, and they are off to the races.



    So I am interested in feedback on the tradeoff of exposing the DWF so it can
    be used for other purposes versus making the process so simple that
    existence of the DWF file is cloaked.



    Thank you for brining this topic up!

    I like the idea that the markups transfer back to the original file, ie: revit in my case, and the other participants, developers and homeowners in my case never have to deal with filetypes, save as's, and don't have the DWF unless I want to share it
