Problems w/ edrawings 2007 & .dwg's
(OP)
Hi all,
Anybody using edrawings 2007 to view old (Autocad 2000) .dwg's? We're trying to implement edrawings/Solidworks but the edrawings viewer is having problems viewing AutoCAD/Mechanical Desktop version 5 native .dwg's.
Any thoughts?

The problem is we want one viewer that will view both .dwg's and solidworks files. The other issue is that we're moving away from Pro/E, and I've batch published all our Pro/E drawings as edrawings 2007 files.
I think it's a bug in edrawings 2007. I have edrawings 2006 on my computer and it views the .dwg's fine.
Any other thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks.

Question:
When opening a DWG file in the free eDrawings® Viewer, "Error reading file" displays. What does this mean?
Answer:
In most cases, this error will be shown if trying to open an unsupported version DWG file. eDrawings® 2007 SP0 does not support opening DWG files from AutoCAD® 2007.
That was the only answer to instability when opening DWG files in Edrawings.
