Thanks again, I was aware of the save as feature, just wanted people to know they could view and animate the 3D model right there on the PSUBS site. But as you say it will only run like that if one has the eDrawings program already installed. Then in that case, it's far beat to view the eDrawings file you saved in the program it self. All good to know.
In regards to video clips, shortly after I sent the email to you I had a (oh du) moment and remembered you already had the video page up. Some times I think there must not be enough O2 in the room. I still would love to be able to archive those clips since I'm not always online, I have slow internet, and all to often videos disappear for one reason or another.
Cheers,
Brent
