Autodesk DWF Composer and DWF Viewer

Autodesk today made it easier and faster for companies to turn their ideas into finished designs. With new versions of Autodesk DWF Composer and DWF Viewer, design professionals can share and revise digital design documents with great accuracy and speed, and have confidence in the integrity of the underlying design data. Using this digital process, project teams reduce costs and the typical two-three-day lag associated with traditional design document delivery methods.

"For an average house design, we'd have to print out four sets of copies for the building department for permits, along with the usual two extra sets for the contractor and owner. A print run like that alone will run about $100 each time we need to FedEx a set. Using DWF files rather than printing means that we can now email sheet sets in many cases rather than messenger them. So not only were we saving hundreds of dollars on every job, we also increase productivity by emailing compact design files instead of loading them to an FTP site or sending paper versions for review," commented Mark Douglas, structural technician for MKM and Associates.

"The latest versions of DWF Composer and DWF Viewer respond to market demand for the capability to develop digital design processes, which can save thousands of dollars per project and accelerate time to market," c
