Ryan Seybert Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Hi All, Is there a method to getting the viewer to open a project file or will it only open a .vwx file? I have a user in the office that only needs to get into a drawing every once in a while to confirm some measurements. Would kinda hate to have to waste a whole s/n on it. Thanks in advance.

Drew L Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 The viewer opens .vwx files. What other project files are you referring to? Quote Link to comment

For me, VWXP and secondarily, VWXW files. Our office of 18 are using Project Share across the board. Our technicians on the road need to have VW Viewer to snap measurements, preview plans, etc. Without the ability to open a project share file via viewer adds a layer of delay and additional workflow for those of us who have already moved on to other projects. Additionally, which one of us has the final responsibility to do that "Save a copy as" back to VWX? Worse, what if I save the VWX and then someone else does an update after I'm done? Etc.... Thanks, Scott 1 Quote Link to comment

Ryan Seybert Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 @SCParker Thanks! I actually tried this the other day with someone who had the viewer. Worked like a charm. Quote Link to comment
