Tip for Week 5/5/08
 

How can I view drawings when I'm logged into Buzzsaw without having to download them?

  • Log into your Buzzsaw account.
  • Navigate to the folder with a drawing file in it from the left folders window.
  • Highlight the drawing.
  • Pick the View tab in the right-hand pane to view a preview.  This may take several seconds for the DWG TrueView viewer to load and let Buzzsaw download the file to a hidden, temporary folder.  The application window may also disappear briefly to the Windows Start Bar.  Simply click on the icon from the Start Bar to maximize it back to the original size.

    - If you have not installed the viewer a download window appears and you will need administrative rights to complete the installation of the latest Autodesk DWG TrueView viewer.  The current version is 2009.

You may also start this viewer when not in the Buzzsaw application window.  Go to your Windows Start bar, expand the Autodesk listing and choose the DWG TrueView version that was added from the previous installation you completed in Buzzsaw.
