I like eDrawings, although you have to purchase the eDrawings plugin for Pro to save the file... Files are stand-alone though, so your client wouldn't have to purchase anything.
It's nice because you can show/hide components, make cross sections and measure. It saves your exploded views, too.
I think you can still get a free version on the eDrawings publisher. It watermarks the file as being published with the free version, but functionally it's the same.
The eDrawings publisher for Pro/E has a free version that installs on your machine but won't allow the person viewing the file to make measurements or sections of the published parts or assemblies.
You are correct .. So I tried it with eDrawings 2009 SP2 (We only have SW 2008 so I believe this is the free viewer.) and I was able to open a Pro/E file. I suspect maybe you have to have some version of SW installed too.
I do know that trying to open an assembly you must have all the parts in one folder and the instance accelerator files for the family table parts.
