.DRW viewer

[Tobias123]

Hi
My company bougth Pro-E ½ year ago and we need to implement in the PDM-system. My company’s PDM system is complicated and our purchaser are at the time only able to se the *.DRW files, not the *.PRT.

So I need a viewer that can view *.drw without the *.prt!??? Is it possible??

I tried the Product view express but the viewer is bad and need an extra file generated *.pic. Our PDM can't handle the extra file without expensive change.

Can anybody help with a viewer??

I'm quite happy with eDrawings. You can also get a free exporter for your Pro/E files as well.

I second that - eDrawings is the way to go.

Try the config.pro option:

"save_drawing_picture_file", it allows you a save an embeded preview of the .drw file. Not sure if this helps you out.

On some drawings, embedding the pic in the drawing caused the file size to be several megabytes. Without the embedded pic the drawings were under 500kb.

I like eDrawings because a complex plastic part file that is 5+ megs in Pro/E shrinks down to less than 200kb. When you install the Pro/E plugin, the process is painless, and (perhaps more importantly) you aren't giving away your Pro/E files.
