freely distributed vectorworks reader

[the pang]

I'm using the program alot to produce plans for different productions and different production companies. It would be great if there was a reader so they could open/close/move about the page (including differnet sheets and zoom)/then print. In this day of email it would make life much simpler. Right now I have to either fed ex or send bit maps which are large files and not very fexible for reading.

My clients have no desire to make the investment of the entire program if there was a reader I could send it along with the drawings or direct them to a download link

Let me know if anyone else has need of this

Hi there -

you might consider making .pdf files that could easily be emailed to clients. Use Adobe Acrobat, or if you don't want to shell out $200, try the excellent shareware program called PrintToPDF. Search for it at Versiontracker.com.

good luck.

Here's a suggestion:

How about your clients downloading the VW demo? Email your files to the clients, they can use the VW demo see it as you see it via all renderings except LightWorksRaymaker. They just can't use the Save function.

Thanks I'll look into downloading the demo and sending it to clients. Do you know if they would be able to print to it?
