Capvidia /FormatWorks Experience

Hello all

This has been our experience with using Capvidia:

We have a model assembly in our PDM file that is 1 Gig and allsurfaces and everytime someone gets a copy of it out of our PDM itwill lock up Solidworks.

We where able to get the original ProE file and open it using3Dvidia and then save it as a IGES file at 800 meg. After openingit in Solidworks and clean up we now have the file size down to 80meg. It is all solids and we are able to use it in a very largeassembly.
