SW animation with e-drawings

SW animation with e-drawings

SW animation with e-drawings

(OP)
My goal is to save an assembly with a collapsing animation as an e-drawing. So that we can send the customer the e-drawing and they can use the animation to help them assembly our product.


Problem:
When I play the animation in e-drawings parts that are hidden are shown then disappear and start to unhide (see uploaded e-drawing file).  I would like to have the e-drawing be like how the .avi is that i've uploaded.

We want to use e-drawings becuase it has the parts listed so the customer can use that to order replacement parts etc.

RE: SW animation with e-drawings

(OP)
Has anyone done what i'm trying to do with e-drawings?  Basically show how to assemble a "product" through e-drawings with components appearing when they need to move into place. I've seen a example of a underwater scooter explode but i haven't seen any of a assembly collapsing.


Do most companies just send the .avi or some other video format?
