FAQ
PDS to DWF Conversion
What are PDS files?
PDS is an extension shared by two unrelated formats. The first is the pattern file of Optitex PDS (Pattern Design System), a Windows CAD program for fashion and apparel design. It holds the pieces of a sewing pattern as precise outlines in real dimensions, with notches, grainlines, seam allowances, and labels, and it can also keep textures and 3D content for draping the pattern on a virtual garment. The second is the Planetary Data System (PDS) format of NASA, used to archive scientific data from space missions, such as planetary, solar, and lunar images, spectra, and measurement tables. It is rare outside research, and regular image viewers cannot open it. The contents of the file tell the two apart.
What are DWF files?
DWF (Design Web Format) is a file format associated with Autodesk and its function is mainly that of facilitating the transfer of information related to a design project. As opposed to DWG files, the proprietary format of AutoCAD, DWF are more compressed and smaller in size. They can translate complicated structures related to architectural designs or engineering into a series of sheets that are easy to view and print.
