Why doesn’t my Dwfx file display in my web browser?
Answer

If you have errors and problems viewing DWFx files generated by AutoCAD and Revit, check the following settings are enabled.
Allow Cookies
In Internet Explorer, click Tools Internet Options. The General tab is displayed by default.

Enable ActiveX Controls
In Internet Explorer, click Tools Internet Options.
On the Internet Options dialog box, click the Security tab.
On the ActiveX control settings, select Enable.
If Autodesk Design Review has been installed but you still cannot view DWF files, ensure that Run ActiveX control and plug-ins is enabled by selecting Enable on the Run ActiveX control and plug-ins setting.

In Internet Explorer, click the Tools Internet Options.
Click the Advanced tab and then in the Settings list, scroll to the Security section.

In Internet Explorer, click Tools Internet Options.
On the Internet Options dialog box click the Privacy tab.
Select Disable on the Use Pop-up Blocker setting.
