We have a few older computers that we would like to run edrawing viewer on. They have a 32 bit version of Windows 7 installed. I noticed that the web site only lists 64bit versions.
We would like to find a version of edrawing that will run on a 32 bit OS.
Thanks for the help,
Dean

My experience with E-DWG 2014 with 32 bit was great - we upgraded to 2015 and were not initially told about the non-compatability with 32 bit and had a ton of issues that cost a couple weeks of down time for some, I had a 1/2 dozen users with 32 bit machines, some remote and out of country. Once they completed the 2015SE we did have success with that, however, we also opted to update all existing 32 bit to 64 and now everything runs fine. You can run into trouble though if you have multiple versions on your computer - I personally recommend removing all other versions except the one you want to use.
If you're using Solidworks 2016 there is NO 32 Bit "SE" version. 64 bit only.
Starting with SW2016 viewer is 64bit only they announced the last 32bit version with SW2015 and there were even limitations to what you can do with that. IIRC It was called edrawing 2015 SE (special edition) as many complained the lack of 32 bit support and they released it stating it was the last time for a 32bit version..
I have the same problem as the company I'm working at, besides 64bit workstations they have a large number of 32bit notebook and I cannot share data so I end up using 3d pdf. Anyway edrawings is so bug ridden and the interface so bad that probably it is not worth the effort...
