    DWF plugin

    Just wondering if anyone knew of a Irfanview plugin that would open DWF files. I know of one that will open other CAD drawings (like DWG etc) but I can not find anything that will open DWF files.

    I would suggest contacting the authors of the DWG plugin, if DWF is a similar format.

    The CADSoftTools company has been developing CAD products since 2000. The products include ready-made applications, libraries for developers, plugins for third-party applications and free online services. Today CADSoftTools has clients all over the world and cooperate with such well-known companies as Samsung, LG, Hitachi and Boeing.


    Their plugin is not free.

    There is a tool to convert DWF to DWG, but that is not free either.

    This seems to be due to the nature of CAD files — presumably they're too complex to develop free plugins for, unless they already contain an embedded preview image.

    One has to ask, what is the point of converting CAD images to a bitmap? If all you can do is view a low-resolution bitmap, there doesn't seem to be much value in that. Buy a vector drawing program that can open and edit these files.

      I'd also find a DWF plugin useful. I think that the Drawing Web Format (DWF) was developed for reviewing drawings and sharing them on the web. Sometimes we can only get a DWF version of a file. AutoDesk has a free software to view them with but it uses a lot of memory and is slow to load. Irfanview is much faster and simpler.
