Creating DWF files

[ronaldseto]

I've read the Acad 2004 manual and the Dummies book, but I still can't put it all together. They always leave something out. I want to create DWF files and send them to others who don't have Acad. I know I have to include Autodesk Express. Can you lay out step by step how I can accomplish this. I can't use JPEG because of the resolution problem.

Hello

You know how to print/plot, I presume ?

So please, you have to change the driver from your favorite printer to "DWF6ePlot.pc3" !

And know, you will produce DWF files ...

PLOT to DWF, I bet it's in all of your books. BUT.... Why don't you grab a free Windows PDF driver (use your favorite internet search engine to find one), install it in Windiws, then PLOT to it from AutoCAD, Now you can send your recipients a ODF they can open instead of a funky format they then have to go find and install a viewer for.
Put your recipients' convenience first and give them a file they already know how to use.

Hello

+1 with Pendean

Because people will need an Autodesk Design Review to load and view your DWF files ... 

Producing a good PDF file would be better and more "unviversal" especially with an OLD AutoCAD !

I hope you have a PDF Creator, Cute PDF, Acrobat PDF driver on your PC !?

Bye, Pat
