Autodesk DWF Viewer 5 - Adding More Performance and 3D DWF Files!
24 July 2004
I previously mentioned this updated free DWF Viewing product back on July 16th in this blog, but now there is more details and a generic download location for the viewer.
Autodesk® DWF™ Viewer, a small, free, downloadable application, allows anyone to view and print DWF™ files – the compact format designed for sharing AutoCAD drawings. Autodesk DWF Viewer 5 adds 3D viewing of DWF files published from Autodesk Inventor. It also adds features for anyone who needs to view your AutoCAD files, including:
Download the free Autodesk® DWF™ Viewer to view and print 2D and 3D drawings, maps, and models in DWF™ -- the industry standard for sharing data-rich design files electronically. Small, fast, and secure, DWF preserves the fidelity and integrity of designs and allows anyone to access the complex design data without the originating design application. DWF files are easy to create and post to the web, and support up to 60 million dpi – the precision required for complex design data.
The new download page.

Word of warning, do not try to do 3D with your Adobe PDF, as it does not exist. If it did exist given PDF history and track record, it would be 10 times the size of the DWF, eat tons of system resources, and be 100 times slower.
