How I can open an archive aec without having the DataCAD? It would not be a strong reason to viewer of aec?

Published from forum DataCAD Brazil

The consistent lack of interest over the years reflects the pointlessness of this wish. We had one once, it was called DCViewer. Its natural death was not lamented. Not even boolean hides could save it. DataCad 11 opens on a couple of seconds these days, so why would you bother to use anything else?

If you want the client to look at stuff, Acrobat Reader and/or the o2c plug-in should suffice and both are already free. Anything else is an unecessary imposition on the client and, as an architect, making life easy for your client is your first priority.

The aec viewer is a way to be more independent to the dwg.

It would be nice not having to export to PDF. AEC's smaller size than sending multiple PDFs, to get them a complete plan (right now mine are getting up to 50+ MBs which can't be emailed to most). Could maybe allow for individual O2C selection for viewing. Maybe some of measure tools could be used so they can measure to scale? Being able to view a model in 3D space, especially with Datacad's future plans. Maybe allow for different pen tables to be loaded? GTV/MSP support. I'm sure only the basics would be included, as to not compete with LT, but that could be left up to whoever programmed it

Acrobat Reader is not for opening aec.
O2c is not for opening aec.

Hello,

Yes, this sounds like DataCAD LT is what you folks are asking for. It is nearly free...
