not sure where you d/l it to? if so just go to a any website and find a file to d/l... see where it's going to save to , then quit the d/l ..if that's what you mean on running it
There is an excellent viewer called 'eDrawings' available. The free version allows anyone to access and manipulate proE parts, assemblies, or drawings, so long as they are first 'published' as an eDrawingfrom within ProE. This 'publisher' facility is also free. The pofessional version, for which you pay, allows you to create eDrawings which can be measured, sectioned, and notated by anyone using the free viewer. I provide these eDrawings to both customers and manufacturers; they are an ecellent tool for manufacture or discussion. I include the following note, with the files, for my customers etc;

James, you cannot view the native ProE file with the eDrawings viewer. First you must create the eDrawing (which will have the extension .eprt or .easm, depending on whether an individual part or an assembly) by using the eDrawing publisher. After installing the (free) publisher you will find a new icon on your ProE main toolbar which allows you to publish the required file. I currently use Wildfire 3, and also used it with previous versions.
ProductView Express is the best option as it does not require any pre-publishing of your data. If your data is under PDM control, then you will have to backup the files from Pro/E for PVX to see them. PVX is a plug-in to IE, not a standalone program.
both options are best. Product veiw express is best to visulize a pro user, and edrawings is best for all related persons or vendors/suppliers who are not pro users. u can download edrawings by website. and for product veiw express, just open side panel(browser) in wf window or go folders tab and click on any part or assy file, the product veiw express will install automatically for the first time and then u can view files in internet browser by double clicking it or by rmb>>open with pvx.
The ability forPVX to view the pro/e files depends on whether the correct information is embedded in the pro/e file when you save it. To do this the following config options have to be set;
save_drawing_picture_file
save_model_display
Viewable files are often huge in size when compared tonon-viewable versions.
the option 1 isonly for preview of your drawings and also control opening preview of drawings. the option 2 is always brings your last display when ever you open your part or assy file again. if u dont set these, u can easily preview part or assy files with pvx.
