DWFx
The meaning of the term DWF has expanded to include DWFx. DWFx is based on the XML Paper Specification
(XPS) from Microsoft, making it easier to share design data with reviewers who do not have Design Review
installed. DWF and DWFx files contain the same data (2D and 3D); the only difference is the file format.
DWFx files can be opened and printed using the free Microsoft XPS Viewer, which comes pre-installed on
computers using the Microsoft Windows Vista
™
operating system. (For the Windows XP operating system,
the Microsoft XPS Viewer can be downloaded directly from Microsoft.) Unlike DWF files, DWFx files include
additional information to display design data in the Microsoft XPS Viewer. As such, DWFx files are larger
than corresponding DWF files.

Worksharing
This topic describes the new and enhanced features for worksharing in Revit Architecture 2009.
Worksharing Monitor
The Worksharing Monitor is a utility that allows you to find out information about a workshared project:
■
Who is currently working on this project?
■
Is my local copy of the project up to date?
■
When will my Save to Central operation finish?
■
Has my request to borrow elements been granted?
■
Are any issues interfering with my work on a Revit Architecture project?
The Worksharing Monitor is available to Revit Architecture subscription customers. See
Worksharing Monitor
on page 1211.
API
Revit Architecture provides an Application Programming Interface (API) that allows you to extend the
functionality of the product. Starting with Revit Architecture 2009, you can use the API to define macros
that can be saved with the application or project. For example, you might define a macro to add a grid to
your project, to rotate a selected object, or to collect information about the square footage of all the rooms
in your structure. Other general examples include:
■
Locating and extracting Revit content to external files
■
Changing geometry or parameters
■
Creating elements
■
Importing/exporting external file formats
