Were did my balloons go
Were did my balloons go
(OP)
I spoke with my SW rep and he told me this is a bug but he didn't have any real workaround so I thought I would post this here.
Here is the problem.
I make a drawing of a weldment, or anything for that matter, that has more then 1 sheet. I draft it and print it and everything looks fine. I send it to the print room to print and make copies and now my balloons and rev table is gone. The print room only has the viewer.
It's still in the drawing but it doesn't show up when we use the viewer.
I tried saving the drawing as an e-file but it still had the same problem.
I'm thinking of trying to get our reseller to give us a seat of SW to use in the print room until the problem is resolved but if they don't go for that I will need to find something else to do.
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

I just installed SP 0.1 which is when the problem started.
RE: Were did my balloons go
Which viewer are they using?
RE: Were did my balloons go
I tried to look at the draft files on my own machine and I have the same problem of no balloons or tables.
The viewer we are using is the 2005 version. All the viewers were updated when we installed SW2005.
RE: Were did my balloons go
Your last post states;
So, which is it? Does it print OK from your machine or not?
When you look at the draft files on your machine, are you using the viwer or SW05?
RE: Were did my balloons go
However, when I look at the draft file thru the viewer then the things are missing. This also happens when I create an e-drawing and view it that way.
RE: Were did my balloons go
If that works, dump the viewer!

Edrawings 04 or higher will open native SW files.
