Chris Lohman Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 I just uploaded a new version of the ICD Shell Tool that allows people that do not have IronCAD, to view native .ICD files. It is available in the "Public Downloads" section under IRONCAD/5.x/5.2 This version does not contain new features. It simply contains a fix that would cause the shell extensions not to appear on some systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsulli Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 That's great, Chris. Is there any chance that a 3D viewer might be available anytime in the future? A 2D viewer is definitely the most important type of viewer for me and the machine shops/company personnel with whom I deal, but during the product developement period, a native .ics viewer would be beneficial to our Marketing/Sales dept.

Chris Lohman Posted July 22, 2002 Author Share Posted July 22, 2002 Dave: We are working on a 3d viewer. Wim: What are the steps to cause it to crash on NT? This was supposed to be an NT friendly patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Lohman Posted September 18, 2002 Author Share Posted September 18, 2002 Well, I don't know what to tell you. I just hit the page and I can see it. Are you by change using a version of Internet Explorer that is older than 5.01 SP2? Perhaps that might be preventing you from seeing the download. Here's what I see when I goto the downloads section: Note: If you try to type in the address listed in that image it won't function for you. You have to go through the downloads link to get there.id=size1> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Lohman Posted September 18, 2002 Author Share Posted September 18, 2002 Perhaps you're in a different downloads section. Are you starting from here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpariseau Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 Hi Chris I down loaded this viewer but when I right click to view , the view command is not available to use. Thanks Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Lohman Posted September 20, 2002 Author Share Posted September 20, 2002 Chuck when you ran this tool did it say it something had registered successfully? You might try extracting the dll from that file and manually register it with the regsvr32.exe command. Even though the file is a .exe, it's nothing more than a self extracting executable that happens to clean up after itself. Winzip should be able to extract it.

Chris Lohman Posted September 20, 2002 Author Share Posted September 20, 2002 by the way, the 2d viewer -only- works on files that were last saved out of IronCAD 5.2 or higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwells531400 Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 Chris: Is there a way to support viewing 5.2 and before 2D files or is this it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Lohman Posted September 20, 2002 Author Share Posted September 20, 2002 There is no way to view pre-5.2 NATIVE drawings without IronCAD. You can always export it to a .dxf file. There are many dxf viewers out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
