    Default XPS Viewr Rejects .dwf & dwfx Files

    I've tried loading dwf & dwfx drawings by using XPS viewer on my 2 Win7 machines but without any success.
    Any ideas?
    Your helps are much appreciated.

    I believe only DWFx is supported by the XPS Viewer. Are you trying to view a 2D or 3D file?

    The drawings are 3D in DWF & DWFx formats.

    The XPS viewer can only handle 2D DWFx files. See this.

    The XPS viwer is not good though.
    Thanks for your tips.
    BTW. Is there any other viewer(s) can load 3D dwfx drawings instead of the ADR?

    What's wrong with ADR? It is a free download.

    This question was rose because some of our clients says ADR is too large in file size.
    I understood that we are all living in the year of 2010.

    dwfx files can be opened in Internet Explorer and firefox(with autodesk labs plugin). You need both C++ distributable and dotnet installed on the machine also (the required downloads are similar in size to ADR).

    A point to note. The file size of .dwf is smaller than any other 3D format I have encountered (any suggestions?) and over time will offset the size of the ADR download...
