Press Release
Autodesk DWF Format Supported By Informative Graphics Brava
Product Line
Scottsdale, Arizona, October 13, 2004 —Today
Informative Graphics Corp (IGC), an Autodesk development
partner, announced that it is supporting the Autodesk DWF™ (Design
Web Format™) file format in its Brava product lines, and that
IGC will work with Autodesk to support the new 3D extension to DWF in its MYRIAD® and free ModelPress applications. As an open
format, DWF ensures that valuable design information is created,
managed and shared more easily across the enterprise.
DWF technology provides a foundation for design collaboration
that accelerates communication and helps increase productivity
throughout a project lifecycle. A compact format capable of
holding large amounts of compressed data, DWF features an open
architecture so that it can be published by many different
design applications and read by third party applications as
those provided by IGC. DWF also affords control, allowing
engineers and designers to specify the design components users
may see, and to secure the integrity of original data. DWF
reduces the expense of workflow and construction errors due to
lengthy review cycles, and ultimately, helps eliminate costs
associated with production and use of paper-based plans. DWF
files can be viewed and printed with the free Autodesk® DWF™
Viewer, and marked up using the Autodesk® DWF™ Composer. More
information is available at
www.autodesk.com/dwf.
Informative Graphics provides view and markup support for a
variety of native, standard and published file formats in a
common user interface. User’s can open and view DWF files in
addition to Autodesk DWG, DXF, TIFF, PDF, CGM, MS Office, and
many other CAD and non-CAD formats all in the same viewer. Brava
is available in a desktop (standalone) and a thin-client /
content visualization server version. Brava provides unified
visualization through a single integration point to data
management systems like Documentum, Open Text, Sharepoint,
Hummingbird, and ColumbiaSoft. For more information about Brava:

“Our partnership with Informative Graphics is another example
of our commitment to making DWF accessible to developers in the
CAD community,” said Tony Peach, director, DWF Strategy at
Autodesk. “By supporting DWF, Informative Graphics increases the
value of their products to their customers and extends the value
of the DWF platform to the broader CAD community.”
“Our partnership demonstrates Autodesk’s commitment to
supporting the DWF format as an open standard for sharing and
collaborating with design data,” said Gary Heath, CEO at IGC.
“We are excited about the new 3D capabilities of the DWF format
and the value that IGC can bring to DWF as an emerging industry
standard for the efficient sharing of CAD content”, he added.
