DWF viewers are small software applications that enable you to preview our CAD drawings interactively online before spending the time downloading them. DWF files are highly compressed (most are only a few kilobytes), but show the same level of detail as the drawing they represent. We utilise DWF viewers within our online drawing libraries to enable you to zoom in to any area of a drawing you like within your web browser before downloading the CAD file. This facility will be enabled by default when you click on a drawing thumbnail image if you have a DWF Viewer installed on your computer. We recommend using the free to download Autodesk DWF Viewer, which is also installed with all latest versions of AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT.
