    Default DWF won't open from ACA after publishing to DWF - Say it can't open files of this type

    When I publish DWF from ACA 2011 and set i t to open after publishing it won't open... the error message states that the file is the wrong type. Then when I try and open the file outside of ACA it opens fine (Design Review used as DWF viewer)

    ACA will not open a DWF. You can attach a DWF .

    David...

    You misunderstood... when publishing you can check a box in the publishing dialog box that opens the DWF in Design Review automatically. This used to work fine... but for some reason or other it now comes up with the error mentioned above.

    I think it may be related to the plot style settings since I have tried other plot styles and some of them work.

    Let you know if I find the culprit.

    Later,

    It is not the first time. Good luck chasing down the cause.
