PRO/E viewer 2

[ccw]

I need a pointer to a good free STEP (sp?) file viewer for looking at PRO/E models and picking off vector distances. Thanks,

Here is a link to a free viewer

Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience every time.

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.

Thanks anyway.

CCW,
I have found one which is free, not a trial. It is based on Granite. It can open 3d native proe and iges and step amongst others.
