Is it possible to set up a PLOTTER to output drawings to an Autodesk DWF Writer?



Solution

 The Autodesk DWF writer is freeware from Autodesk;


http://usa.autodesk.com/dwf-writer/


The Autodesk DWF writer allows the user to create DWF files from many different applications. NX Plotting however, is not compatible with this software. The output formats that NX produces from Plotting are too complex for the DWF Writer to understand. 


However you can PRINT to the Autodesk DWF writer from NX by selecting 'File-> Print' from inside NX, once the Autodesk DWF writer software has been installed.


When Printing from NX, the Autodesk DWF Writer can be selected as a 'Printer'. Under Settings, select Black and White print.
