Viewing a Solidworks Drawing Without Solidworks

04/22/2010 9:42 AM

Is there a free software that will allow you to open or view a solid works drawing. I just need to see the part, don't need to edit it.

I am a AutoCad LT user.

Thanks.

GA and thanks! I was pleasantly surprised to find they have a version for Mac too!

Now if they only had one for viewing Catia files...

I didn't see any mention of Mac. Usually that means PC only. one of these days I'll get Windows installed again...
