DWF viewers are small software applications that enable you to preview our CAD drawings interactively online before spending the time downloading them. DWF files are highly compressed (most are only a few kilobytes), but show the same level of detail as the drawing they represent.

(2) The file created from AutoCAD on MacOS is entirely color raster imagery at 600dpi using ZIP compression, In contrast, the file created from AutoCAD under Windows uses text and vector where possible with the raster images compressed with lossy JPEG. That explains the dramatic difference in size (and ironically quality - the smaller file is higher quality)!
(3) The pages from -content/uploads/bsk-pdf-manager/6_SM-2703-CERTIFICATION_6.pdf are in fact JPEG2000 compressed images at 150dpi with no text and no vector. Although Adobe's desktop and mobile PDF software has no problems with JPEG2000 raster images, various third party viewers are not so robust. The artifacts that you see via are likely due to a crufty JPEG2000 implementation. High quality JPEG or ZIP (Flate) compression would have eliminated this particular issue!
The second image shows a screen shot of the pdf when I have zoomed right in. For the size of this pdf, it is a fairly close up zoom, but when I print to pdf in autocad or similar, I have very good resolution even when zoomed right in. Typically their file sizes are larger too.
The .DWG format is a highly compressed file to store hierarchical information of a drawing, including geometry and metadata (e.g. properties, xData, xRecord). Convert to JSON is a tricky request: do you need the geometry or the metadata?
It is important to understand that when you add a raster image as a background, the file size of the image is not the true indicator of how much memory it takes to load it. The program needs to load it uncompressed, into a contiguous block of memory. So, the resolution of the image is really the true indicator of the memory it takes up.
JPEG images are highly compressed so the uncompressed form can take a very large amount of memory. If many programs had been opened during their windows session, those things may be loaded into random sections of memory, which makes it much more difficult for the program to find a contiguous block of that memory to load the background.
The reason why it sometimes appears that memory is being limited is due to the fact that the uncompressed image must be allocated a contiguous block of memory. So, with 3GB of physical memory total, the application has 2GB to work with. Various parts of the program are allocated segments of memory for:
What's left over and contiguous is what the program can allocate for the uncompressed image, which could potentially be small. To further complicate matters, the memory usage reported by the Windows task manager is not always accurate. See the following article
- *.sid raster files are ultra compressed on disk. Unfortunately, WaterCAD/GEMS needs to uncompress these file to display them. The Mr.SID file may look like it uses only 8 MB of disk space, however, it could be hundreds of MB in memory when uncompressed. Fortunately, *.sid files support the resolution setting in our standalone, so you can choose to load at a lower resolution, which i often good enough and will often avoid running out of memory. When opening the file you should be prompted for the resolution in which the file is to be displayed.
- Other raster file formats such as (*.bmp, *.jpg, etc.) can have similar problems. Some formats are compressed on disk, some are not. Looking at disk size is not always a good indicator of how much memory is require to load and draw it the file in the standalone. If you get an out of memory error with one of these file types, try opening the file in an image editing program (Photoshop, Paint, GiMP, ...) and lower the resolution.
If your applicationcan support them, then TIFF Group IV is the the best format for line drawings. It onlysupports Black and White, but it is highly compressed and large drawings with highresolution are possible while still maintaining small file size.
Related publishing formats from AutoDesk: Two proprietary formats with limited functionality have been developed by AutoDesk for publishing designs. DWF and DWFx are secure file formats developed to combine and publish rich 2D- and 3D-design data. They are highly compressed file formats suitable for distributing a single drawing or multiple drawings and sheet sets over the Internet for review by people without a CAD application. AutoDesk provides a free application, Autodesk Design Review, for this purpose. DWFx is a relatively new version of the DWF file format, based on Microsoft's XML Paper Specification (XPS). DWFx documents can be viewed and printed with the Microsoft XPS Viewer, distributed as part of the Windows operating system. See About DWF and DWFx Files.
The precursor to AutoCAD was Interact, written by Mike Riddle for early microcomputers, starting in 1977, and released as a product in 1979 for a system based on a Marinchip 9900 CPU, which had hardware multiplication. In 1981, Riddle and the principals of Marinchip Systems, John Walker and Dan Drake, joined about a dozen other people to found AutoDesk and rewrite the software for the IBM PC. See Mike Riddle's Prehistoric AutoCAD; interviews in 2005 with Mike Riddle from the Digibarn Computer Museum; and The Autodesk File: Bits of History, Words of Experience by John Walker. The highly compressed form of the DWG format has its origins in the early days of personal computers.
Are there differences? Sure, but they are not usually overwhelming. Uncompressed PDFs or AI files are huge compared to other formats, but compressed PDFs are very reasonable in size. The same can be said for DWFs, although binary DWFs will be smaller than the equivalent uncompressed PDF.
However, if you do not need to retain colors, then the best raster format to use (if you can) is TIFF Group IV. This format is a highly compressed format, but is only black and white. Not all viewers will display TIFF files so you may be forced to use GIF instead.
A DWF file is a 2D or 3D drawing saved in the Design Web Format (DWF) developed by Autodesk. It contains design data, which includes graphics and text. DWF files are saved in a Zip-compressed format to reduce their file size.
The Design Web Format was developed as a device-independent and resolution-independent drawing format for distributing designs. It is not intended to replace popular CAD formats, but instead, is used to save designs in a more accessible, open format that can be opened without the need to purchase expensive CAD software. The format is based on the HOOPS Stream (HSF) 2D/3D format but is also Zip-compressed.
Innovaya Project Model Files (.INV Files)
All Innovaya software works with data in .INV files. The name 'INV' is a file extension name derived from the word 'Innovaya'. The .INV files are highly compressed consisting of information about building elements including 3D geometric and parametric data. They also contain essential construction planning information such as cost and scheduling tasks, and their association with the building elements. In other words, the INV files represent a Project Information Model (PIM) for an AEC project. The INV files are created by Innovaya composer applications for major CAD programs such as Autodesk AutoCAD Architecture/MEP, Autodesk Revit, or generic 3D DWG files. Additionally, an INV file can contain a complete project model by importing multiple CAD files and syncronizing design changes. Once an INV file is created for a project, it can be used by all Innovaya visual applications.
When handing in a Maya project (compressed into a zip, rar or other archive format, see: Using 7zip with file archives), it's recommended to clean the project of all unnecessary files to keep the archive file as small as possible.
Even though many researchers have reported the versatility of the peristaltic micromixer and have been making efforts to incorporate the mixer into highly integrated microfluidic platforms, the basic design is usually that of the circular mixing loop. For the same length, the circular-shaped mixer requires the largest footprint among the three types of the mixers: circular, rectangular, and triangular. Until now, the geometry has not been optimized for high mixing performance. Since reagent mixing is one of the most time-consuming processes for bio/chemical applications on a chip, maximization of the mixing performance of the mixer is crucial for the successful development of highly integrated microfluidic platforms.
where K, D, PeH, U, H, and E represent the Taylor-Aris dispersivity, the molecular diffusion coefficient, the Peclet number, the average fluid velocity, the flow channel height, and the degree of hydrodynamic mixing enhancement, respectively. From the captured images on the movement of the interface between fluids as shown in Fig. 6(b), we obtained the average fluid velocity and calculated the degree of hydrodynamic enhancement for each mixer. Fig. 8(b) quantitatively shows that the degree of hydrodynamic mixing enhancement resulted from the interface stretching increases with decreasing distance between mixing valves. This indicates that the distance between the valves should be as short as possible to make an effective mixer. When the central angle is 10, the distance between the mixing valves is about 76 μm. Considering the current state of microfabrication technology, there is still more room to enhance mixing performance. In addition to increasing the performance, decreasing the distance between the mixing valves can lead to a more efficient usage of space. This is very important for highly integrated microfluidic systems.
