DWG/DXF-files slooow

Discussion in 'SolidWorks' started by Markku Lehtola, Oct 17, 2003.

  1. Opening and measuring DWG/DXF-files like big layouts is quite slow with
    SW, is there any free viewer kind of software fr DWG/DXF with measument
    tool? Don't have to be dimensioning, just measurement...

    Try eDrawing 2004. If you have eDrawing professional it will allow you
    to measure the native DXF/DWG files you open.

  4. You missed the most important word: free ;-)

    I work for many customers so I can't (well, I could but I know the answer
    already ;-)) just say to all that , "ok, you need to buy this and that
    because..."

  5. Thanks, this will take some time (testing all of them) :) I have already
    tred TurboCAD but with no success, it couldn't open DWG that was not a
    problem for SW (still slow, but..)

  6. FelixCAD opens really nice atleast snmall R12 and R2002 files, I'm also
    going to try Pro/Desktop Express that should support DWG/DXF.

    If you have SolidWorks Office, eDrawing Pro came with it so you would
    already have what you need without further expense on even need to install
    anything else.

    Volo View Express does markup. It's free.
