Showing SWX models on a website

E-Drawings in webpages work fairly well, but are is a function of an Active-X add-in that will only run under Internet Explorer. Won't work under Firefox.

I had to manually install the Viewpoint Media Player plugin for Firefox, but after that I was able to view the sample models on the SWX website.

Thanks for the info, however I can't get this to work. The SWX website has the following info on its "website administrator" page :- " Your 3D Instant Website Administration account is based on your SolidWorks serial number. If you have already created an administrator account for your hosted websites, please enter the username and password below. If you have not created an adminstrator account, please close your browser and return to this login page by selecting 'Tools-3D Instant Website-Administrator' from your SolidWorks software."

I have SWX Office and can bring up the Office toolbar (and I have Photoworks, Toolbox etc), but the button for "3D instant website" is greyed out, and there is no menu item in the add-ins list.

Is this an Office Pro option, or is there something else I need to enable first? I'm on 2006sp5.1

Yep, Thanks John - That works for me - the auto download attempt kept stalling!

Cheers,

Sorry, I've never actually used 3d Instant website. I was simply aware of its existance. Is it possible that a custom installation was performed and it was not installed?

HI John

I've messed about with modelpress, sort of works but I found it a bit flakey.
