Autodesk DWF (Design Web Format)
Open BetabetaDWF (Design Web Format) is an Autodesk format for publishing and viewing design data without editing. Physically it is a ZIP archive with a manifest.xml and a graphics section. Our exporter assembles such an archive from OSM layers: each layer (roads, buildings, water, greenery) gets its own color, and the geometry lands in a W2D section as polylines and polygons. Note honestly: we write a simplified XML DWF structure, convenient for programmatic parsing, rather than the full binary opcode stream that some official viewers expect — so DWF here works best as an archival, layer exchange container for the map.
