Still not up-to-speed on DWF? Here's some information direct from Autodesk that helps explain why you need to be using DWF if you have a need to share digital design data.
DWF files offer the following advantages for sharing design information:
Compact yet data-rich, DWF files include drawing scale, views, and hyperlinks
Highly compressed DWF files make it easy to transmit huge design models by email or the web. DWF files can be 1/20th the size of AutoCAD® DWG files and 1/25th the size of Autodesk Inventor® files
The format supports 3D, enabling a fully interactive presentation of the design model
The format supports multisheet drawings sets, so designers can build a compete set of complex design documents into a single DWF file
The open DWF format can be published and viewed by many different design applications
You don’t have to be a CAD user to review DWF files. The free* Autodesk® DWF™ Viewer, as well as Autodesk® DWF™
Composer, enable you to view and work with DWF files
Creating DWF files is free*; the capability is built into Autodesk® design applications or available with the free Autodesk® DWF™ Writer
