(OP)
Will SW 2007 Viewer view SW 2006 files?

RE: SW Viewer 2007

I don't use the viewer, but I would be very suprised if it didn't.

Are you not able to try?

Scott, that wasn't my question. If I download SW 2007 Viewer will it open SW 2006 files to view.

We're currently on on SW2006 SP4.1 and I was looking to download a viewer for my Manager to view my designs.

RE: SW Viewer 2007

I would be willing to bet it will. New SW versions can open older files but not the other way around. That being said, if you're on '06, why not just use that viewer?

mirisj and CorBlimeyLimey,

Downloaded the 2007 viewer and works fine with SW2006. Thanks for your input.

RE: SW Viewer 2007

Just curious ... why are you using the viewer rather than eDrawing?
