Autodesk provide a number of applications for viewing Autodesk design files. I’ll use the term design files, as we deal with a number of different file formats, and depending on which file format you want to view, share, mark-up or convert will define the application you will consider for use.
Autodesk Design Review is a free program used for creating and reviewing DWF files. Design Review enables your team to view, print, measure, and mark-up DWF, DWG, DXF, PDF and raster files. Design Review helps you easily share drawings, models, maps, and design data with your team members, clients, consultants, contractors, partners, suppliers, etc.
Autodesk Design Review enables the viewing of a number of file formats…
The 2010 version introduces the ribbon interface and the ability to open DWG, PDF, DGN and JT files. DWG files are not viewed directly but they are first converted to DWF (in the background, with DWG TrueView).
In fact when you download Autodesk Design Review from the Autodesk web site, you have the option of including this DWG support…
Selecting the DWG Reader option results in a bundled download/installation which includes DWG TrueView to provide the DWG support in Design Review.
The DGN and JT format support is available when you download and install the relevant free plug-in from the DWF Community we site…
