WE JUST UPGRADED TO 2007, AND WHAT I'VE DONE IN THE PAST WAS MAKEAN E-DRWG OF A DRAWING BY DOING A SAVE-AS COPY. WE COULD OPENUP THAT E-DRWG AND ROTATE THE ASSEMBLY BUT NOW THE ROTATE BUTTON ISGREYED OUT AND CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED.

READ THROUGH THE HELP TOPICS WITHOUT MUCH LUCK, IF ANYBODY KNOWS, IWOULD APPRECIATE IT. THANS

Hi Tim,
If you are opening an eDrawing (.edrw), the rotate button isn't available until you hit the "play" button to move through the various views.

If you are opening a .easm file, let me know and I will look into it.

  HI RICHARD,
  
  WHAT I AM TRYING TO GET TO WORK IS A .EDRW. THESE ARE THEBUTTONS GREYED OUT, ROTATE, SECTION, SHADED, PERSPECTIVE, MASSPROPS, PREVIOUS, STOP, NEXT, AND PLAY.
  
  IN THE PAST I JUST SAVED AS EDRWG AND NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THECUSTOMER UNTIL NOW. I HAVEN'T HAD TO DEAL WITH E-DRWG'SBEFORE.
  
  NOT SURE IF IT IS AN OPTION THAT I'M MISSING OR NOT. DOES ITMAKE A DIFFERENCE IF YOUR USING THE PROFESSIONAL OR THE"FREEBIE"?

    Okay Tim, can you try one more thing for me? Open a drawing in SolidWorks, do a file>save as>eDrawing, and before you hit the save button, click the options button. Make sure that "Save shaded data in drawings" is checked.

      Richard,
      
      The java messed up on the work computer and wouldn't let me respond, so I am trying at home.
      
      To answer your question, yes the box is checked in the " Save shaded data in drawings:.

        Sorry Tim, I'm at a loss.
        
        Can you either send me the file directly, or zip it and attach it here?
