Beyond the Paper tag:typepad.com,2003:weblog-304258 2012-05-18T09:55:12-04:00 This blog highlights how applications built around DWF can do more than what can be done just using paper. The blog covers the building (architectural/electrical/construction), manufacturing, and infrastructure (e.g., GIS, telecommunications) industries.

You asked. We listened! The wait is over for our Android customers. The free Autodesk Design Review mobile app is now available on the Android Market! 

Similar to its IOs cousin, the Android version of the Design Review mobile app lets you work with your 2D and 3D design files on your Android phone or tablet.

The DWF Toolkit includes C++ source code for reading and writing DWF files. More specifically, it provides APIs for:

  • DWFx format support
  • Reading and writing 3D DWF from any application
  • Simplified 2D interfaces
  • Reading and writing composite DWF files (3D and 2D combined)
  • Cross-platform support (Windows, Mac, and Linux)

The latest version of the DWF Toolkit, 7.7, ready for download here http://www.autodesk.com/dwftoolkit, includes:

  • Support for DWF/DWFx files published by AutoCAD 2012 and other 2012 Autodesk design programs
  • DWF Toolkit building with VS2010
  • DWF Toolkit building on Mac (XCode 4.1) and Linux (gcc 4.5)
  • Updated sample code and documentation
  • New parameter "nProviderFlags" to the existing functions “DWFContent::load”, “DWFSection::getContentDefinition” and “DWFSection:: getObjectDefinition”, which will give you an option to skip reading customized property attributes, improving file reading performance. (The default behavior is not skipping which is consistent with the toolkit previous version.)

The ability for others to add value to what DWF has to offer is another way DWF goes beyond the paper.

In the last post we mentioned that Autodesk Design Review customers were reporting issues on the discussion group regarding uninstalling and installing the latest three versions of the software because of Microsoft Visual C++. In that post we provided some workarounds until we had a hotfix ready.

We're happy to report that the Hotfix - Autodesk Design Review 2012 is ready for downloading from the product's Services & Support website.

This hotfix solves the critical uninstall and install issues in Autodesk Design Review 2012.

  • Autodesk Design Review 2012 uninstall fails when Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package KB2538424 is installed.
  • Autodesk Design Review 2012 uninstall/install fails when Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable – 10.0.40219 is installed.

The current Autodesk Design Review 2012 downloads already includes this hotfix.
