Limey,
thanks for the input.
I can open the assembly from edrawings - which makes me think perhaps I should provide the models to my customer with edrawings...
However! I still cannot get the files to open from within the solidworks viewer. While I do have library parts, I have saved them...
Thanks for all the responses everybody...
I have tried many of your suggestions before, but here is what I did this time:
I opened my assembly, removed all the excess configurations, dissolved all the patterns, broke the links to all of the assy holes, and saved a fresh copy elsewhere where I...
Hello all,
I was asked by a customer to provide my solidmodels as well as a Solidworks Viewer program to view the models.
I have created clean versions of my models (copy references) and I can get 4 out of 6 of my models to open within the viewer.

Scott,

Erik
Thank you for all the responses. Here is what I have to say.
I am currently plotting directly from SolidWorks. I can plot from the model, or from a drawing showing the model. The image quality is set to the highest it will allow me.
Actually, from the drawing, I have the option to save the...
Hello all,
I am trying to plot a model on an HP DesignJet 750C Plus plotter. We need the model to be about 34"x34", and in color etc. As real to life as possible.
