Hi

Give the following a try -

Cimmetry's AutoVue (http://www.cimmetry.com/cimweb.nsf/pages/AutoCAD_viewer)

RockWare CAD Viewer (http://www.rockware.com/catalog/pages/cadviewer.html)

Amethyst CADwizz (http://www.cadopolis.com/prodCADWizz.asp)

Autodesk DWF Composer (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=4086277)

More info on Autodesk DWF Composer (https://folders.buzzsaw.com/Excitech/Product%20Information/DWF%20Composer?public)

Just had that problem.

We switched to the Bentley Viewer (http://www.bentley.com/en-US/Products/Bentley+View/Overview.htm).

Um, I dunno. I hadn't thought about that. I should probably figure it out just in case one of my users asks, though, shouldn't I?

We downloaded Bently and it is MUCH!!! better than Voloview Express.
