Dwf viewer on terminal server

Hi

 

We need to view DWF on terminal server, but Autodesk does not support this on terminal server... Have tried Trueview, Design Review,...

Are there any alternatives I can use?

Best regards

Not that I've ever searched on this, but I've never seen another program that can open .dwf files other than Design Review. 

 

Your only option is to install local.  I doubt anyone would offer assistance on an Autodesk forum if you seek assistance with getting it to work on a terminal server.

 

Good Luck!

good catch mcgyvr!  Yes, there is the capability to open and view dwf files from Internet Explorer and that might just work for your situation.  There have been some issues getting IE setup to handle viewing dwf files, here's the Design Review forum link where you might need to go for further assistance in getting IE setup correctly to view dwf's if the info contained in the link mcgyvr provided doesn't get you going 100%

yeah I posted the DWFx/IE link but personally its NEVER worked for me... It seemed to only work on 25% of our computers if that.. All "supposedly" met the requirements for it to work but it just never did.

Thank you all for all your inputSmiley Happy

 

The dwfx/IE seem to actually works for usSmiley Happy I was really excited about this because I have been looking for a solution for a long time! So I set up in Vault that all publish options 2D and 3D for 2010-13 should be dwfx instead of dwf. But during checkin the visualization-files still comes out as dwf and not dwfx????

 

What can be wrong?
