    A fresh install of sp0.0 - then upgrade to 2.0 has left me unable to
    publish or open edrawings. The viewer itself will open, but crashes
    when opening an edrawing. When publishing the viewer appears
    momentarily then disappears in a few seconds. I've re-installed,
    removed reg entries etc to no avail - I'm just curious if I'm the only
    one?

    Thanks,

    Zander

    Hi Zander,

    although I am not (yet) on SW2007 I remember there was such an
    issue in former versions. As far as I remember the fix was to open
    the edrawing software, start solidworks then and publish an edrawing
    within sw. After having done this once, some dlls, pointers, switches
    or whatever should from now on remember its function again ;-))

    Sounds weired and is, but have a try.

    cheers

    Hi Zander

    I hade the same issue, open the viewer from the desktop not SW. under
    tools, options set tick box to use software open GL.

    will be slow but should work. I have the latest drivers (fx 3450) but
    will not work with open GL enabled :((((
