A DWF file is an electronic plot of a source file. It reproduces the appearance of the original drawing, including any stylization or theming. You can use a DWF to add a layer from styles, themes, or layouts which have been created in AutoCAD Map 3D or any other program that can write DWF files. This pre-styled data is loaded as a drawing source in Autodesk Infrastructure Studio. The following illustration shows the data sources in a typical DWF file:
Elements of DWF files (rollover)
A DWF file has two elements that you can select when you create a layer from the DWF drawing source in Autodesk Infrastructure Studio:
- Sheets—Different plot sheets containing views or layouts of the original data. You can select these in the Layer Editor.
- Layers—The layers from the original drawing, if the DWF was published from a DWG file. If layers were enabled when the DWF was published, you can turn layers on and off in the Layer Editor.
