Inventor and DWF

[Anonymous]

Is there any settings I'm missing or a work-around to have the DWF only
capture what's in the boundry of the layout paper-size in Inventor? It's
common for us to have extra views or BOM's outside of the paper size that we
don't want printed. The DWF captures all of the geometry and then
re-centers it in the DWF. When you look at the DWF in the Express Viewer
the layout recenters and the border doesn't align to the sheet, so it's off
of the page.

All of the information is there, but it's confusing for our shop people and
sales guys and it's a hassle to print.

Thank you Kent.

The driver for it seems to work as long as you use the Best Fit option. We
have code incorporated into our IDW's that will save a dwf into a specific
folder on a save. Now I need to change it to print on save.

Thanks again.

Inventor 7 is outputting bad transforms into the DWF files. We are working
with their team to remedy this for their future releases. I believe our
next AEV release will have a workaround in place for this problem.

Thanks for the responce.

The Revit DWFWriter seems to work, but it'ld be nice to have some of the
options with the SaveAs as you do with the printer driver.

One save as option which would help a lot is image quality. On most of
my title blocks, the bit map images which come out of a save copy as DWF
are un-readable.
