Viewing solidworks parts/drawings on a Mac

I need to send some solidworks files to a client using a Mac. Has
anyone ever done this successfully? What is the most painfree method.

Tia,

for drawings, use pdf

 

I use both a Mac & a PC and have done it numerous ways:

1. I use screen shots to transfer solids views by themselves, usually
jpg.

2. Indeed you can use an image or images & text in a pdf file, even D
size drawings.

3. I translate drawings into dxf files when the person can use that
format.

4. If they have a 3D solid modeler, I can use one of the compatible
formats SolidWorks can Save As.

5. For sending eDrawings, the Mac user needs to install Virtual PC on
the Mac (not on the G5s yet), and then download the SolidWorks viewer.

There are some other things that can be done on the web, but I've not
used them, though SolidWorks can post manipulatable solids so web
browsers can see them.
