DWG Viewing Tab (Options Dialog Box)

If Autodesk^® AutoCAD^® 2011 or later is installed, the DWG Viewing tab is displayed in Design Review, enabling you to set the conversion options for opening DWG files. The DWG Viewing tab options are not available in Design Review if DWG TrueView is installed.

Drawing’s Paper Size When Printed

List of available paper sizes for the open DWG file. The default setting is the size specified in the DWG file. If no setting was specified then the default is 8.5 inches x 11 inches.

Fit Drawing to This Size

When selected, the drawing is scaled to fit the paper. When unselected, Design Review uses the drawing’s scale (or the system default, if no scale was specified).

Drawing’s Orientation on the Page

Select the drawing orientation of the generated DWF file, As Published, Portrait or Landscape. As Published accounts for design files that may contain both portrait and landscape drawings.

Resolution (Dots Per Inch)

Higher resolution (larger dpi values) results in greater detail and larger DWF file size. Lower resolution (smaller dpi values) results in faster performance and smaller DWF file size.

Model Type: 2D or 3D

Select the method for determining DWG file content. Best Guess: Design Review programmatically determines whether or not the DWG file contains 2D or 3D information. If the model space of the DWG file is just a 2D drawing, Design Review imports the 3D model as a 2D sheet. If the model space in the DWG file is a real 3D model, Design Review imports the file as a 3D model. 2D: Forces DWG file conversion to a 2D sheet. 3D: Forces DWG file conversion to a 3D model.

Expose DWG Layers

When selected, DWG layer information is included in the DWF file.

WarningFor password-protected DWG files, layer information is not included.
