Autodesk® Design Review JT Import Plug-in README

Updated: 24 January 2008

About the JT Import Plug-in

JT is a file format commonly used in manufacturing CAD programs. Using the Autodesk® Design Review JT Import plug-in, you can import a JT file into Design Review 2009. During the import process, Design Review publishes a new DWF file from the JT file. The original file is unaffected by the import process.

Design Review 2009 requires the 2009 version of the JT Import Plug-in. After installing Design Review 2009, download the 2009 version of the JT Import Plug-in from Autodesk.com and install it separately.
