    3. Select an image format.
      • 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.

    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.
