DWF Toolkit Downloads are strong and steady

The DWF Toolkit is used by Autodesk developers to read and write DWF files. Other companies also use the toolkit to support DWF in their own products. The DWF Toolkit includes C++ source code for reading and writing DWF files. More specifically, this version of the DWF Toolkit provides APIs for reading and writing 3D, 2D, and composite (3D and 2D combined) DWF files from any application. The DWF Toolkit provides cross-platform support (Windows, Mac, Linux).

If you are a Visual Basic or JavaScript programmer interested in working with the API associated with Autodesk Design Review, then you should visit the Autodesk Developer Center. There is a compiled HTML help file that describes that interface. The DWF Toolkit is intended for hardcore C++ programmers who wish to build their own applications.

Perhaps there's something in the air? Downloads of the DWF Toolkit have really taken off in the last six months.

If you are one of the C++ developers downloading the DWF toolkit, what are your plans for it? Inquiring minds want to know. Please tell us what you think: [email protected]. Openly sharing our source code for capturing design data in an easily shareable format is alive in the lab.
