Re: Future Version error even after installing latest version
Ari, where did you download the eDrawings from? Use the one from SolidWorks via your Customer Portal.

Re: Future Version error even after installing latest version
I downloaded edrawings viewer from http://www.edrawingsviewer.com/ed/download.htm, by clicking the link in the error message.
I'll try downloading it from the customer portal as you suggest.

Re: Future Version error even after installing latest version
how are you trying to open the file? are you double clicking on the file or opening up edrawings and then doing an open file?
Open up the latest version of edrawings you have and then do a file open. Does it work? if not, check to see what version of edrawings is opened by going to the "help" --> about solidworks edrawings... what version do you have open? you should have 2013.
If you do a file open and you have edrawings 2013 and the issue persists, let use know.. then there is likely an edrawings or file issue.
If you have this issue but it only occurs when you double click on a file, then you have a default program to file type issue. Depending on what other solidworks programs you have installed, there are a few ways to resolve this.

Re: Future Version error even after installing latest version
I opened the application, then opened the file, but it doesn't work. I'm using edrawings 2013 sp0, 13.0.0.5016.
I also have these:
Solidworks 2012 x64 edition
Solidworks 2012 eDrawings x64 edition
Solidworks 2012 eDrawings
Solidworks Explorer 2012
Solidworks Tools (9 programs)

Re: Future Version error even after installing latest version
I too have all of the above installed, but I'm not getting this issue. Is it file specific? there are a few SPR's saying older .easm files won't open in edrawings (with same future file error). Does the file open just fine in 2012 edrawings or solidworks?

Re: Future Version error even after installing latest version
It's not an old eDrawings file - just a week old. I cannot open it from within Solidworks - I don't think that's possible - it doesn't seem to be a supported file type.
It doesn't open in eDrawings 2012 - that's how I discovered the problem in the first place, and why I upgraded to 2013.
I tried opening the eDrawings application, and then doing a File, Open, and still it didn't work.
Thanks for all your replies - I appreciate the help. Not sure what else to do. I asked the supplier to upload a different format, like IGS or native Solidworks files, so I'm probably OK this time, but it would be nice to be able to use eDrawings. For now, I can't use it, at least in this situation.
