Save as .exe eDrawing directly from SW
Save as .exe eDrawing directly from SW
(OP)
Not a big deal, but is there any was to save an eDrawing as the executable (.exe) version directly from SW.
Currently, I have to save my SW file as an eDrawing (.eprt) Then open that file in eDrawings, and then save it out as a .exe file so the recipient doesn't have to download eDrawings viewer.
Is there an easier way? I am hoping there is a check box or option somewhere that I am missing.
(The best and easiest option would be to have everyone just download the free viewer, but that isn't going to happen for everyone.)
Thanks,
Lou

It's possible that a macro could be written for this, if not one already.

The Publish/Send works real good. Much easier and I don't end up with a local copy of the file on my drive that I have to go back and delete after I send it.
I can't get the html to open in my browser (it opens a blank screen and doesn't ask to download activeX). I will play with my security settings and I'm sure it will be fine. That seems like the best file type to send out.
Thanks again,
Lou
