It would be cool if instead of a thumbnail preview window inside of SolidWorks we could use the eDrawings data (or something faster that can handle polygon decimation and LOD or other simplifcation based on size on the screen) to show the preview window instead of just the static bmp we currently show. This is something that Pro/E has had for a long time and it is pretty cool to be able to rotate around the model to see if it is what you want before you open it. I know that we can do this if you are in Enterprise but it doesn't feel the same and it not only requires Enterprise it also requires more work.
Thoughts?
