Bluebeam and Edrawings missing

Bluebeam and Edrawings missing

Bluebeam and Edrawings missing

(OP)
After upgrading to SW2005 SP4, the save to PDF as well as my Edrawings toolbar have left. Also, when using the split line feature, SW would crash. I spoke with my VAR on the crash issue and it was resolved by registering an OCX file into the registry. I have tried repairing my SW install as well as repairing the OS (WIn2000Pro). I even went as far as removing SW and re-installing from scratch. Still no Bluebeam Printer or EDrawings. My Addins menu does not contain any boxes for either nor do I have a toolbar in "Customize".

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Pioplastic

Note: I have turned all other programs off during the install(s).

RE: Bluebeam and Edrawings missing

Go back into the install utility and make sure those items are marked to be installed.

RE: Bluebeam and Edrawings missing

One more thing... eDrawings is a separate program that has to be downloaded from the SW website.

RE: Bluebeam and Edrawings missing

(OP)
I have downloaded and installed Edrawings. There is not a place to select PDF or EDrawings in the installation package.

Thanks,
Pioplastic

RE: Bluebeam and Edrawings missing

Edrawing is a separate install like PDMAdmin told you above.

The PDF is an add-in in Tools\Add-ins\"Save as PDF" - If you don't see it in there, then do a repair on your SW - See FAQ on how too.

Thanks for the info Scott, but I have already repaired SW, re-installed EDrawings, and repaired the OS. For some reason Windows' install is not registering the components properly. Both the Bluebeam software and Edrawings were installed but not recognized by SW. I can run Edrawings outside of SW and no problems. The Bluebeam printer was not installed.

I have Solidworks working on a solution as well.

RE: Bluebeam and Edrawings missing

Try doing a full uninstall and reinstall of SolidWorks.  Scott wrote an excellent article in the FAQ section about how to do that the right way.

RE: Bluebeam and Edrawings missing

Thanks PDMAdmin, but I have already tried that several times. I have even completely cleaned the registry before the install. I have installed from the original CD's and updated to SP4. The problem exists with SP0 and SP4.
