Models

Hello,

I was wondering of anyone knows of a way to embed a model into a Word document.

I sometimes have the need to capture a design and place it in a Word doc for instance when I am documenting a design review.

I have sometimes created an executable edrawing and inserted it as an object. This works okay, but the file is somewhat large.

For the sake of simplicity, I have just been saving jpg snapshots of the model and placing them in the doc.

My peer sitting next to me uses Inventor and I am quite impressed with its functionality. He is able to do many things that I cannot do with Pro-e. He is able to insert some kind of active X model into a Word doc, and that model can be zoomed , panned, and rotated as if it were right in inventor. And, the file size is small.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Matt
