Autodesk Design Review Getting Started Guide

Whether involved in manufacturing, AEC, or geospatial industries, 
design is a collaborative process that involves those who need to review 
and comment on designs, but are not familiar with CAD software. 
Autodesk
®
 Design Review software helps accelerate projects from 
start to finish with all-digital tools to review, mark up, and track 
changes to D and D designs without the original creation software. 
Team members can accurately measure, redline, and annotate drawings, 
maps, and models, and communicate changes in the context of the 
design. Add comments, track status, and drag and drop information 
of any type—CAD documents, project timelines, or raster images—
combining them into a single file. Then round-trip the DWF file to any 
Autodesk
®
 design application, overlaying digital markups onto the 
original CAD file for fast revisions. 
Regardless of what industry you’re in, coordinating project reviews 
with Autodesk Design Review is easier, more ecient, and less costly 
than a paper-based system. Its benefits include:
•  D viewing, measure and markup capabilities
•  Data security
•  Instant transmission of data anywhere in the world
•  Powerful markup and tracking capabilities
•  Compact file size for e-mail and archiving
•  Integrated workflow with Autodesk design software, to speed 
revisions and ensure no information is lost.
Only Autodesk Design Review lets you round-trip markups directly 
into Autodesk design software, including AutoCAD, Revit

an intuitive review and approval process project managers and 
CAD drafters can navigate from comment to comment across sheet 
sets and systematically walk through a review set to complete the 
approval process. The CAD user can see all changes marked by the 
Design Review user, and incorporate changes into the original CAD
