Publish to the Web
Creates HTML Web pages from drawings you select in the active project.
DWF: Design web format files are vector-based representations of drawing (.DWG) files.
Note: DWF is the recommended image format as it supports intra-drawing surfing from a component tag or component description list.
JPEG: Joint Photographics Experts Group files are raster-based. We do no recommend this format for large files that contain text.
PNG: Portable Network Graphics files are raster-based like JPEG images, but PNG provides a higher quality output.
Do All: Selects all drawings from the project drawing list to publish to the web.
Process: Selects one or more drawings from the project drawing list to publish to the web.
Reset: Moves all selected drawings back to the project drawing list.
Un-select: Moves one or more drawings back to the project drawing list.
by Section/sub-section: Selects drawings by sections and subsections.
Enter an output device name.
The progress of the plot job is displayed. When complete, you are notified that the plot and publish job is complete.
Publish to web - temporary folder for build
Creates a Web page of selected drawings in the current project. The Web pages and associated support files are saved in the specified folder, enabling preview, and testing before posting to the Web. If the folder does not exist, one is created.

Banner | Creates the text string that forms the banner for the Web page. The default is the .WDP file name and its path for the current project. |
Title Text | Creates the text that appears below the banner. The default is the current project's first four project description LINEx values. |
Layout to output | Creates the drawing images using the AutoCAD Plot to DWF function. The plot mode can be Model, Layout1, or As Saved. |
Configuration name | Uses the plot configuration file for generating the .DWF drawing images. Note: To override, set WD_DWF_PC3 in the wd.env environment settings file. |
Build intra-drawing surf pick lists | Automates the surf and zoom capabilities on components on the drawing image displayed on the Web. Intra-drawing surfing is available once the page creation process is complete. Note: This option slows the .DWF plotting process. |
Allow drag and drop | Copies the .DWG files or creates .DXF file copies of the drawings and posts them on the Web page. You can drag these files from the Web page into an AutoCAD session. |
