DWG TrueView
DWG files (AutoCAD and Inventor) can be opened in DWG TrueView and converted to .dwf and .dwfx.
Configuration
To understand how the various dsd settings are generated by DWG TrueView and how to set them, see the PDF - DWG TrueView section.
There you can also find a dsd-file example.
To enable multisheet- or singlesheet DWF or DWFx generation, the Type
setting can used:
1 | Export-Document -format DWFx -To C:\Temp\Test.pdf -Options @{'Type'=4} |
These are all possible Type
settings for DWF and DWFx exports:
