DWF Support

You can think of a DWF file as a container for a design package that is 
comprised of various kinds of design information published in a print-ready 
drawing set. DWF is an open format that can be published by many different 
design applications. The DWF format has been created by Autodesk as a way 
for team members, who may be separated geographically and who may not 
all have the same software programs, to share and distribute design data. 

With this release, Autodesk MapGuide now supports reading and writing of 
DWF files. Here is the list of DWF-related features: 

■

Set up a data source specifically for DWF files. See “Setting Up a Data 
Source for DWF Files” on page 25.

■

Create a new layer directly from a DWF-file sheet. See “Creating a Layer 
from a DWF File Sheet” on page 29.

■

Write a DWF file from an Autodesk MapGuide view. See “Saving a View 
As a DWF File” on page 32. 

Note  DWF Version 6 files are supported. However, Autodesk MapGuide Author 
does not display markup created by Volo
