Edrawings and Firefox

SW refuses to be compatible with anything but the current Windoze products.

The same problem exist with other browsers. There is only a edrawing plugin available for IE.

In the past I had already complained about this. Heve you tried there 3D contentcentral site with firefox. Doesn't work either. That was a few month ago.

PIA - although most of my customers are on IE, a significant number are on Opera / Firefox etc or work on Linux. Ho hum, I guess I'll go and see what the PDF 3D content thing is all about, as hopefully that will be a bit more flexible and teel my clients to download "open in IE" for Firefox.... Thanks for the information and prompt replies Deri

Yep, you're SOL with that. One dimensional thinking (read, cheap) on their part.

BTW, there was a promise that eDrawings (which was demoed at SWW) would be available on the Mac,.. one of my Mac clients hoped to use.... frick, co'mon, beta use would have been fine but... noooooo... sit and wait...

Seems like another case of limited beta use by "special users" who know better??

Another reason eDrawings will loose. Sorry, imho, they're conservative, short sited, limited thinking,...

Side note:, even though Parasolid was ported to OS X, Mac users aren't going to see any parasolid support (especially NOT SolidWorks).

One thing you may want to try is saving the model in VRML format. It's an open standard, and there are plugins available for lots of browsers that will allow viewing. You can even get a java applet that will view them, so as long as the browser supports java, they can see your file. It may not be quite what you want, but it's something. Here's a couple of java VRML viewers which you can try out (I've never tested either):

Paul,

If you can find it, read Electronic Business, March 2005. There is a discussion about Intel. Look for the discussion of the worth of Intel's Brand Name and how they keep its value up. Intel might not be the only outfit using these practices.
