Is your computer ready for Autodesk Design Review 2007? (http://dwf.blogs.com/beyond_the_paper/2006/05/is_your_compute.html) via Scott Sheppard's blog.




Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or later (must be the default browser)Does that mean IE 7 is supported ?

Text in bold, that really is too bad :(





32 MB free disk space for installation


550 MB free disk space for installation:shock: That is a big! difference.

I'm running Autodesk DWF Composer R2 and IE is *not* my default browser. Works just fine. Either that is a typo, or they just want you to think this.

"basically the same" --- except you need 518MB of more disk space.

I have seen posts to the Autodesk newsgroup where users had trouble navigating URLs using Autodesk DWF Composer when IE was not their default browser. I added that requirement (which is not part of the official Autodesk marketing literature) to my blog based on empirical evidence.

Thanks for your observation about IE 7. I have made this clear by updating the posting. IE 7 is not yet supported.

Thanks. I'll have to check out the hyperlink functionality.

Autodesk Design Review and Autodesk DWF Viewer are tied to Internet Explorer (as part of the operating system) for UI elements of these applications. As such, those won't support other browsers for some time; however, Autodesk is researching other technologies that can be applied to the viewing of CAD data. We are constantly listening to our customers' needs and delivering solutions to address them.
