open with....edrawings2009
my boss prefers to use edrawings as his default program to open files (for his purposes, he just needs to view & print). problem is when we try to change the file type association to edrawings, it wont let us...
we rmb a .slddrw and click "open with...", then browse for the emodelviewer. when we select it, it does not work! same thing happens on my machine.
our company just upgraded to 2009 sp2.1. before that we were running 2008, which he had gotten to work somehow on his machine after a similar problem last year.
...any suggestions?
why doesn't he open the .slddrw from within edrawing? no need to change associations.
-or-
save the .slddrw as an edrawing format. (easm, eprt or edrw)
in windows explorer go to >tools>folder options then the "file types" tab to change the default association.

cbl, beleive me, i have suggested other options to him, but as we all know, sometimes when the boss-man says he likes to do it a certain way, there is no pursuading him!
he wants to be able to go into our controlled document area, double click a drawing and have it open in edrawings.
jmarv,
i have already tried that too, but i have the same issue
when you rmb, open with, browse for emodelviewer; is there a tick box that says "always use the selcted program to open this type of file" ?

after i browse and find emodelviewer and click open (to bring me back to the "open with..." screen), emodelviewer is not in the list of prgrams that i can use to open
continue on and click the button that says to browse to the program you wish to use to open this file if it is not in the list. there is also another toggle box that says use this program all the time for this file type.
