When someone outside opens it properly with a dxf opener, are they able to see the model dimensions? will it be in 2D or 3D...If I didnt dimension the idw file to begin with, would the dxf file be dimensionless?

It sounds like Inventor is exporting an ASCII DXF file (as opposed to binary). You ought to be able to find a free viewer online and check to make sure it's exporting correctly and that the dimensions are correct.
