Autodesk DWF Composer leverages the power of the Autodesk Design Web Format (DWF) to quickly and easily share engineering design data, facilitating improved communication with the extended team throughout the design lifecycle.
Additionally, Autodesk has enabled redlines and markups made with Autodesk DWF Composer to be integrated back into the recently announced AutoCAD 2005 and the AutoCAD 2005 family of products.
This unmatched level of integration completes the design review process and creates a more efficient workflow by allowing project teams and AutoCAD users to better communicate and distribute project information.

Autodesk DWF Composer was built for design professionals who are part of the design review process and need to contribute feedback, but have no need for typical CAD software.
With easy-to-use tools to review, mark up and revise sheet sets, Autodesk DWF Composer provides a better way to communicate changes to the design team and integrate extended team member's updates in the design review process.
These team members are often spread across numerous locations, and have traditionally relied on costly and inefficient paper-based review processes or viewing and markup applications not specifically built for sharing design and engineering data.
Autodesk DWF Composer offers a superior alternative for design professionals in the building, manufacturing and infrastructure industries who need to collaborate more efficiently and effectively to deliver projects on time and on budget.
"The introduction of Autodesk DWF Composer is a significant step forward in improving the design collaboration process and realising the value of digital design information throughout the project lifecycle", said Tony Peach, director of DWF strategy for Autodesk.
"Now design teams can throw out their red pens and transition from generic applications to one designed specifically for their industry.
The result is an improved workflow that offers noticeable business benefits".
Autodesk DWF Composer will be available in April from Autodesk resellers, distributors, and retailers and online at the Autodesk store.
Customers who are interested in participating in the beta programme prior to the general availability of Autodesk DWF Composer can register on the Autodesk website.
