Edrawings allowing movement of assembly components

    Have an assembly made up of multiple components. Customer wants a 3D file
    made up from this assembly similar to an EDrawings assembly, in which they
    can manipulate the individual components, just to get an idea of different
    looks with the components in different locations. Of course, my company
    doesn't want to hand over any hard design data at this point that they would
    be able to just send off to China or elsewhere to have the rest of the work
    done.

    Anybody have any suggestions?
    Any such animal out there?

    Thanks - Sean

    I see that EDrawings has MOVE and EXPLODE features, but they are disabled,
    and nothing I do seems to change that. How do you enable these controls?

    Thanks - Sean

  3. Do you have eDrawings Pro? It may be that those functions are not available
    in the free version. I tried it here and move is available on our Pro
    version machine, but not a free version machine.

    I think the explode feature you see is related to a SW assy file that has an
    exploded view in it. But, even in the free version, you can do a Ctrl-e to
    explode any assy in eDrawings. Then click on the Home button to put it all
    back.
