EPDM and .svg viewer

Manos Saitakis Nov 28, 2017 6:46 AM

Hello everyone,

i work with svgs exported from Composer, and i would like to preview them in the PDM environement.

I downloaded some svg viewers (Inkscape, Scribus, Windows svg extension tool) but no preview shows either in the datacard preview or when I activate the thumbnails preview.

I changed the viewers through EPDM administration, I restarted the pc, but no preview shown.

What should i do?

Thanks in advance.

The user setting in the Admin tool does not affect the Preview tab. It only applies when you view a file.

Hey Manos,

On the computer you want to preview from go to regedit and browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SolidWorks\Applications\PDMWorks Enterprise\FileFormats

In there create a new key and name it .svg, then under that key make a multi-string value named 12 and add HtmlPlugin.dll as the value (This is all copied from the .xml key)
then restart your computer and you should get a preview. Repeat on any PC's that you need a preview on.

  Thank you Charley!
  EPDM opens the svg files, but in a new window (i previously removed the viewer Google Chrome from the EPDM Administration). It does not show me inside the epdm preview window.

    Hmm, I've seen that happen before when playing around with PDF previews and it had something to do with ActiveX controls. Play around with the suggestions in S-066423 from the KB.
