Does anybody know when ProductView will be able to view Wildfire 4.0 drawings?

Jeff, ProductView Express version 9.1 is for free and therewith you can review all information (PRT, ASM and DRW) from WF 4.

Dieter, Thank you for your reply. I just created a 2d drawing in Wildfire 4.0 and ProductView Express 9.1 M020 Build 18 would open it but not display it on the screen. The graphics area is solid light blue. I even tried to change the display settings to monochrome, black, white, use drawing background and nothing. Try it, you'll see i guess

Maybe you should check the options and set "save_drawing_picture_file" to be "embed". Remember to save the DRW again.

I am using Wildfire 5.0, ProductView Lite 9.1 M060 and I have the same problem on a Sony Vaio. Perhaps the issue is display related. The drawing is viewable on other machines in my case.

Were you ever able to resolve the issue?
