    I've just re vamped the comapny website and put a load of edrawings up
    for example (produced from SW2004) - they are saved as HTML and work
    fine in IE6, but don't work in Firefox as far as I can tell.
    I can't seem to find anything online about this and wondered if there
    was a work around to allow them to be seen in Firefox/ Mozilla / Opera?
    Many thanks
    Deri

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

    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

  4. 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.
