You can create a design web format (DWF) file to share your drawings electronically, or you can plot your drawing to a sheet.
Sharing drawings is necessary in many stages of the drawing development cycle. For example, you may be asked to add a mechanical, electrical, or plumbing system to a drawing that was created in another software program. AutoCAD MEP 2026 toolset provides an object enabler so that you can work with custom objects contained in the drawing.
You can distribute drawings effectively either by creating a design web format (DWF) file for electronic distribution, or plotting your drawing to a sheet.
Plotter Manager lists plotter configuration (PC3) files for every non-system printer you install. Plotter configuration settings specify port information, raster and vector graphics quality, paper, and custom properties that depend on the plotter type.

You can use Plot Style Manager to add, delete, rename, copy, and edit plot style tables. Plot style tables collect groups of plot styles. A plot style controls how an object or layer is plotted by determining plotted properties, such as lineweight, color, and fill style. The Plot Style Manager is a window that shows all the plot style tables available in AutoCAD.
