Will Acrobat 3D Toolkit import Solidworks models that have been saved as eDrawingsViewer files? The eDrawings files have eprt and easm extensions.
 
If the models won't open directly in Acrobat 3D Toolkit, are there any intermediate conversion steps?

Acrobat 3D 7, Windows

I believe so, yes.

Thanks for that positive and hopeful response, but it was just a little bit ambiguous – “yes” to which of the preceding questions? What sort of conversion steps?

…Six months later, maybe the question itself needs to be updated.

Can selected views of Solidworks models be imported into CorelDraw (in line art view, not as rendered models) for technical documentation – Operator’s Manuals, Parts Books – through Acrobat Toolkit? After the selected assembly has been rotated and/or exploded in Solidworks, is it necessary to edit/massage the file from Solidworks, to perform specific “export”/compatibility functions, or other formatting? Or will Acrobat 3D toolkit automate the whole process, in one or two easy steps?
