Publish an Electronic Sheet Set

Publish an Electronic Sheet Set
You use the Sheet Set Manager to publish an electronic version of a sheet set that you can email
to a client who does not use AutoCAD. You publish the sheet set as a Design Web Format (DWF)
file. DWF files can be viewed and plotted with the Autodesk DWF Viewer, a free viewer available
from www.autodesk.com. For security, you can also add a password to your DWF file.
Note: Before you begin the tutorial, if you have not already done so, copy the Tutorials folder
from the Destination Desktop CD-Rom to My Documents.
