The edrawing viewer(s) that were recommended do not accomplish what I asked for in the initial post. It does not recognize .prt, .asm. and/or .stp files.
I wanted a pointer to free software that would allow me view Pro-E files and pick-off vector (length, direction) data.
If you make a Pro/E part (or assembly) from the STEP file you can certainly view it from ProductView Express or edrawings. You asked for a viewer for Pro/E files. STEP is a neutral format.

No, I asked for a STEP file viewer with dimensional interogation capability.
I finally found exactly what I need. It is called MYRIAD.
It has a fully functional 15 day free trial download.
It makes edrawing look sick. It has .jpg, .ppt, etc. output. It does recognize the .stp format. One can access it at:
I think the MSRP is $595. I would highly recommend it as a means of obtaining useful information from PRO/E/and or SolidWork design models without having to lease a PRO/E seat. It handles 150 file formats. It is very user friendly for 3D Cad challenged folks like myself.
