DWG to DWF Converter allows you to convert DWG to DWF, DXF to DWF without the need of AutoCAD.
Features: DWG to DWF Converter converts both the native AutoCAD formats of DWG and DXF to Design Web Format or DWF. DWF is a secure file format developed by Autodesk for the efficient distribution and communication of rich design data to anyone who needs to view, review, or print design files. DWF allows designers, engineers, project managers, and their colleagues to communicate design information and design content to anyone needing to view, review, or print design information, without these team members needing to know AutoCAD or other design software. This application is a batch converter that allows you to convert DWG to DWF, DXF to DWF without the need of AutoCAD to be present in the machine. The simple interface lets you choose files and folders to create a batch of files that can be converted in one go. When specifying folders you could ask the program to include all the subfolders within the folder too. It supports all the versions of AutoCAD drawing output, namely R2.5/2.6, R9, R10, R12, R13, R14, R2000/2002, R2004/2005/2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 formats of DWG and DXF. DWF version 6 is supported an you can get outputs at versions 5.5 and 4.2 also can be obtained. Options in several groupings are available. These are "DWF options and colors", "SHX and Xref directories", "Output layout", "line width (pen width)" and DWF properties". With the DWF properties you can add metadata about author, title, subject, keywords, copyright notice and a description.
Overall: The program makes the process almost completely automatic and helps collaboration. It is easy to publish and send along to collaborators as the files are quite light-weight.
