HTML recording problem

Technical Communication
1

Hi all

I recently learned that Edrawing Pro can save its files in HTML format in order to view them in a web browser.

It's cool, if only it worked... Each time I try it I get an error message (see screenshot).

I do: File->Save as> I select HTML and poof, error. I searched through the options, but found nothing.

I also tried the HTM format, it's a disaster. Impossible to open it, message saying that you need IE10 or higher, tested with Edge, Firefox, IE11: nada.

If anyone has the solution, I'm all for it.

P.S: trying to write the file on my desktop and I'm an administrator.

Hello

Test done with Edrawing Pro 2019 SP4:

- Opening an SLDPRT file in EDrawing.

- Save it as HTML on the desktop.

- Opening a sldasm file in EDawing.

- Save it as HTML on the desktop.

Everything works perfectly and the files open well in Firefox.

I am an Administrator.

Kind regards

Hello

Same here, eDrawing 2020, functional HTML recording. 

Via Solidworks it is possible to save in 3D PDF format if this could be an alternative for you...

Good night

Thank you for your feedback.

I'm using Edrawing 2021 sp2 and these are Edrawing files that I'm trying to pass in HTML.

@d.roger, I hadn't thought to try with SW files, I just did it and ... it doesn't work! I have the same message...

@Rpicard, I know the 3D PDF, but find it a bit practical for consultation and you can't take it aside.

The HTML format is ideal for our needs: document display in the workshop without the need for specific software installed on each workstation (less maintenance) and the possibility of taking measurements if the operator has any doubts.

I also tested the export as an executable file but our anti-virus doesn't make the joke... He doesn't know and blocks everything.

So I'm going to keep digging...

Have a good day and a good weekend.

Hello @max59,

Thank you for your answer, unfortunately (or not) I won't be able to test this week: I'm on leave:)

As soon as I return, I will do what is necessary.

Thank you.

Hello

EDrawing 2020 SP05

No PB with HTML file (on Edge and Chrome).

Complements: you can take measurements on a pdf3D (I grant it's not dimensions).

Hello @max59,

I just did the update of SW and everything else to the SP3 version.

And the html recording works!

Thank you for your feedback, otherwise I would probably have given up...
