file extension .epr instead of .eprt

the designer sends me a drawing name Whatever.EPR



edrawngs viewer refuses to open it (unsupported file type) I don't mean it doesnt see the file, I mean it actually says it cannot open it.



i actually have to change the filename to Whatever.eprT and then it will open it.



The designer tells me that's how the files are saved.



It's all a bit cludgy, any ideas please?

Try the EDrawings viewer.

eDrawings doesn't save parts with the *.epr extension. An old version of AOL, winzip, pkzip, Novell, Windows, etc might truncate the name to 8.3 format. Was the file name longer than 8 characters?

Eiffel is a programming language so I don't think this is related.

Thats what I though but was not sure. I give up.....
