SW Logic Behind Free E-Drawings for AutoCAD®, Pro/ENGINEER®???

I cannot believe SW would allow its 2 big competitors have access to one of
the best tools in SW, E-Drawings. I know for a fact that we have beat
competition who was using Pro-E for new projects because we could
communicate with E-Drawings to Marketing Staff at customers rather than the
good old 2d drawing or a still jpeg. I always looked at E-Drawings as a
competitive advantage to using SW over the other packages.

 

Rocko, SolidWorks Corp probably doesn't have any control over it. It
LICENSES the eDrawings technology from the same company making eDrawings
for AutoCAD and Pro/Engineer. That company is Geometric Software
Solutions.

.... To get them hooked on the crack, so they will upgrade to
e-drawings pro. Become the standard to unseat PDF.


Respect

 

Why not? To get eDrawings you have to fill out name, address, etc. Gets
contacts.

 

You sure about that Mark?

Sporky,

SolidWorks themselves distribute the AutoCAD Publisher, not Geometric
Software (if you download eDrawings from the SolidWorks website, the
AutoCAD publisher is bundled in it).

I think SolidWorks can control which applications can have an
eDrawings Publisher. After all, they LICENSE the technology, so they
would have control over what is done with the techonology. right ? I'm
sure no company would license its proprietary technology without
having a say in what is done with it.
