DWF Drawings

Drawing Web Format (DWF)
DWF is an industry Internet standard recognized by the IETF.
Developed by Autodesk as an open file format for the transfer of
drawings over networks, including the Internet. The benefits of DWF
files are:

Speed—High compression means that they're smaller and faster
to transmit and open than full-blown CAD files. Most DWFs
are from 50-90 percent smaller than DWGs.
Security—Cannot be modified, so they maintain the integrity
of the DWG. In effect, the DWF is a "digital plot" of the original
drawing.
Precision—DWF files are vector-based. When zooming in a
DWF, precision is maintained; with other bitmap formats (e.g.,
GIF or JPEG), zooming results in "fat pixels."

The WHIP! viewer -- is the fastest, most accurate way to view and
distribute drawings using the Drawing Web Format (DWF), a public
and open file format that preserves the integrity, security, and
precision of your distributed AutoCAD drawings. With WHIP! and
DWF, you can electronically distribute your drawings, eliminating or
reducing the expense of plotting and reproducing and shipping. And
non-AutoCAD users can view, pan, zoom, and print the drawings
quickly and easily without ever opening the original DWG. Since
WHIP! works in a Web browser or in many stand-alone applications
(e.g., spreadsheets, presentations), users can access drawings
anyplace, anytime.

DWF drawings from Autodesk require the AcadWHIP! plugin to be viewed.  This download is free and fast.    At this time WHIP! is not compatable with the macintosh operating system.

Once you have downloaded WHIP! It should automatically install itself.   If you have any questions about WHIP! or any problems, please feel free to contact the webmaster.
