If you’re just installing it once, skip the next two paragraphs. This installer makes that difficult, but not impossible. If you’re a CAD Manager, there’s no point in having the unzip happen 100 times for 100 users when it could happen just once, so you’ll want to grab the extracted files and install from those. The downloaded executable is a WinZip self-extractor. The installed application is 212 MB, so it’s all a bit mysterious. On the bloatware theme, if there’s a particular reason this download (421 MB) is over eight times the size of its predecessor (49 MB), it’s not readily apparent. Readme – read this because there are many limitations and workarounds described.Interestingly, the new Design Review is not called 2018. It’s still only 32-bit, so it appears to be a matter of Autodesk just touching it up enough to keep it compatible. This wasn’t supposed to happen, because we should all now be using cloud-based solutions.Ī new version of DWG TrueView was needed to deal with the new DWG 2018 format, and one knock-on effect is that a new Design Review was needed to be compatible with DWG TrueView 2018.

Despite the previously announced end-of-active-life for Design Review (Autodesk’s DWF viewer), there is now a new release available.
