    Hi all,

    I understand it is possible to e-mail a SolidWorks file with an embedded
    viewer so that it can be opened for read only on a computer that does not
    have SolidWorks loaded. Does anyone know if this is a fact and if so how is
    it done? I realise the file could also be e-mailed as an eDrawing and
    perhaps this can have a viewer attached as well. Can anyone help here?

    Running SolidWorks 2005 SP3.0

    Thanks .. Roger

    Save edrawing as an .exe -- this may only be available in Pro version,
    someone may correct me on this.

    There is also a SolidWorks Viewer

    Tools -> Options -> General, and check the next to the last checkbox
    named "Save eDrawings data in SolidWorks document". It will make your
    files larger -- I presume significantly, but I don't know by how much --
    and it will make them viewable with the free version of eDrawings
    Viewer.
