Ever wondered how you could switch off selected layers and save the DWF file in that state? For instance, you want to send on the file to somebody else, with specific layers turned off.
You can create a custom view and save the DWF with the custom view. Setup your layers, open the views palette and through the right-click menu on My Views, you can create a view. Ask the recipient of the files to open the custom view and they will see the layer states you intended.
Here is how it works step by step:
- Arrange the items on the canvas and set the view the way you want it to be saved.
Important: Saving to My Views is the only way to save Layer, Move and Rotate, and Cross Section views. - On the Views palette title bar, click the Palette Options button and choose Save View.
The selected view will be saved under My Views as My View 1. Additional views will be saved as My View 2, My View 3, and so on.
You can rename saved views as desired.

It's a great feature, even for home use!
