About DWF
Map of Askanité in DWF — an export of real OpenStreetMap data for the selected area.
DWF (Design Web Format) is an Autodesk format for publishing and viewing design data without editing. Our exporter writes a true DWF 6 ePlot: the ASCII version prefix, a ZIP with the manifest and the sheet descriptor, and graphics as a binary W2D opcode stream — the same one AutoCAD itself writes. The map is fitted to an A3 sheet with its proportions kept: layers (roads, buildings, water, greenery, landuse) stay separate, each in its own color, background areas are filled while buildings and roads are outlined, and street names and house numbers are written as Unicode text. The file opens in Autodesk Design Review and attaches as an underlay in AutoCAD.
Which layers are in the file

How to use DWF for Askanité
- Autodesk Design Review — try opening the file first thing: that shows right away whether it suits your viewer.
- Any archiver — rename the extension to .zip and unpack it: inside are manifest.xml and the graphic section, and the structure is easy to study by eye.
- Labels — check the street names and house numbers: they are stored as text, not as a picture, and read as such in the viewer.

FAQ: DWF for Askanité
Is this a true binary DWF?
Yes. The package is a DWF 6 ePlot: the ASCII version prefix, a ZIP with the manifest and the sheet descriptor, and graphics as a binary W2D opcode stream. The file opens in Autodesk Design Review and attaches as an underlay in AutoCAD.
What is inside a DWF file?
A ZIP behind a version prefix: manifest.xml describes the sections, the descriptor sets the sheet and the printable area, and the .w2d stream holds the map layers — polylines, polygons and text labels, each layer in its own color.
Are labels and styling preserved?
Labels yes: street names and house numbers are written as Unicode text, so Cyrillic and Arabic script come through natively. Styling is simple: each layer has its own color, background areas are filled, buildings and roads are outlined.
What should I do if my viewer does not open the file?
Start with the native viewer — Autodesk Design Review. The package is a DWF 6 ePlot, and our own tests parse the package and its W2D stream back with an independent reader, so a refusal from third-party software is worth reporting to us: name the program and its version and we will look into it.
What coordinates is the geometry written in?
In the logical units of the sheet: the map is fitted to A3 with its proportions kept, at 12,000 units per inch. This is a sheet for viewing and printing, not a metric drawing: if you need to measure with a ruler, take DWG or DXF, where a metric projection is chosen.
