Subject: Publishing a sheet list to DWF or DWFx

Publishing a sheet list to DWF or DWFx prints all referenced sheets at the same time to a .dwf or .dwfx file, depending on the format you choose. DWF and DWFx format files allow you to distribute your drawing to others for online viewing, reviewing, and editing.

If the Page Setup column indicates None for a sheet, the sheet is published using the print options specified for the layout.

•   On the ribbon, choose the Application button, then choose Publish > Publish, or choose Output > Publish.
