But more so and even more important, DWF is a very different file format, being 32bit integer coordinates. Still it has a lot in common with paper in that it's really not made for conversion to DWG. You can mark it up and you can measure it, even see object property information - once supplied by the drawing originator. The answer remains the same: There are some third party applications that are available for the task, however, the "reverse" conversion will not provide the sought after complete data.ĭWF continues to be like an electronic printout, like a hard copy on paper. How can one convert DWF files back to the DWG file format?
This subject has been the substance of many discussions, internally and externally to Autodesk. The ability for others to add value to what DWF has to offer is another way DWF goes beyond the paper. (The default behavior is not skipping which is consistent with the toolkit previous version.)
