![]() This is also a concern for reprography shops who took our advice and archived data as DWF files instead of TIF since DWF files could be scaled up or down to fit the paper without loss of visual fidelity. This was of particular concern to Autodesk Vault users where DWF files are an integral part of the solution. They feared that Autodesk was dropping support for DWF. My first blog was Beyond the Paper that was based on what could be done with DWF files instead of just printing them.Ĭustomers first noticed that there was no release of Autodesk Design Review for 2014. So I have been a DWF proponent from the very onset. When applications other than AutoCAD were able to create these files, the name evolved to Design Web Format (DWF). Autodesk VP, John Lynch, worried that people would not associate the solution with Autodesk, so we called them Drawing Web Format (DWF) files (.dwf) instead. Sun Microsystems had just released Java, so we wanted to call our files whip files (.whp) so you could whip design data all around the web. Internet Explorer had not really emerged on the scene yet. Our first foray into sharing design data via the internet was a WHIP! plug-in for the Netscape Navigator browser. Autodesk VP in our product development group, Brian Mathews, was on our team when he invented the DWF format.
