DWF / DWFX

Inventor and InventorServer

When opening the following file formats in ../../../../../_images/inventor.png Inventor or ../../../../../_images/inventorserver.png InventorServer, .dwf and .dwfx files can be created for them (via the TranslatorAddin):

  • Inventor IAM

  • Inventor IPT

  • Inventor IPN

  • Inventor IDW

  • Inventor DWG

  • AutoCAD DWG

Configuration

A complete list of export options for the “Tranlsator: DWG - Addin” can be found here.

To understand how the various ini settings relate to the Inventor user interface see the PDF - Inventor and InventorServer section.
There you can also find configuration examples for 2D drawings. For 3D formats use following ini as submission:

DWG TrueView

DWG files (AutoCAD and Inventor) can be opened in ../../../../../_images/dwg_trueview.png 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:
