SW 2004 Office - eDrawings not installed

[DMichaels]

My problem is that the eDrawings icon in the Office toolbar is grayed out and does nothing. All the other Office icons are ok. EDrawings is not listed under Addins. There also is no "Publish to eDrawings" under the File menu. Is there a way to re-install eDrawings Pro ?

I have installed Solidworks 2004 sp2.1 with Office on 4 machines from my Administrative image on the server. The image and installs are using MSI.

Try doing a repair on the installation, but your probably going to have DL Edrawings from the SW website and install it.

When you DL that file, it is the full version just with a SP installed on it. You could DL the file, put it up on the server, and let your users copy and install the program from there.

Would the download version be the Pro version, as we should have available with Office ? Will it require a serial number to run as Pro ?

Edrawings is edrawings - It includes the both types (Pro and non-Pro versions) - It's your SW Reg code that activates (or in your case the SNL license file) Edrawings. Anytime you upgrades SW you should ALWAYS DL the updated Apps or options below that pertain to you and your installation of SW.

You do realize that the Help files are updated for each new SP of SW. But they are not included in the initial DL of SW? You should always at least update your Help file.
