View Full Version : Composer vs. Viewer Functionality

I just discovered that the viewer has the ability to provide 'real time' sections in a dwf file. This is not available in Composer.
My question to ADESK is, shouldn't the viewer be a sub-set of the features and functionality of Composer? I want to be able to do everything to/with a DWF file in a composer session that I should be able to do in the viewer, in additon to the mark up tools. If I need to open up the viewer to get that that feature then why did I pay for a license?
At AU I heard of great plans for DWF to become the next big step for collaboration and information sharing in the Autodesk world. If that's the plan then there is a lot of work to do to make the application more robust and the tools more useful for it to become a place to work. Speed improvements and greater flexibility in mark ups are just the start.

Dimitri,

What you should do it post your thought to the Wishlist forum for the DWF Copmoser and DWf Viewer.


Thank you,

Brad

Yeah that's pretty lame, hopefully they will provide an updated composer with the section tools
