John,

what is Creo View Express 3.0 doing when you open WF4.0 drawing. Does it crash ? Can you attach the picture of Creo View Express 3.0 after opening tha drawing ?

INFO:

Drawing file must contain a viewable of drawing sheet. This image is written inside drawing file, if SAVE_DRAWING_PICTURE_FILE config.pro option is set to EMBED.

    Hi Martin,

    Thanks for your comment, You were right - the SAVE_DRAWING_PICTURE_FILE option in the config.pro was set to NO. i changed it to EMBED like you said and it worked.

    First time user of this community chat - and very appreciative of your help Martin..!!
