    Any idea when VoloView 4 is coming out so
that my boss will stop screaming at me about the fact that VoloView 3 doesn't
view Inventor 8 files?  Anybody?

    Is it possible to install the Design
Assistant stand-alone so VoloView will work with the new IV8 files?

Either in the IV7 NG or in the VoloView
NG it has been recently stated, in the past 3 weeks, that a Patch or
whatever it is to be will be posted for VoloView 3 so VV3 can view IV8
files, as soon as it is ready. Not sure though of a time period since that
of course was not stated..

We use PDF for everything.
All idw are saved in PDF and when needed we also generate PDF for iam and ipt.

There is a newer build of Powered by Volo View
available on CD#1 of Inventor Series. This will open IV8 files. Uninstall the
old Volo, install the new version (VVBz3.exe I think) and install Design
Assistant 8 fromt he design tracking folder. Post back if you have any
questions.

OK, here is the solution that my VAR gave me.  On the IV8
disk 1 is a file folder named "Power By VoloView3".  In this folder is
an executable (VV3Bz) that will setup a stand-alone version of VV3 with the
needed IV8 plug-in.  If you have a version of VV installed on the computer,
you'll need to uninstall it first.  After installing and running the , just
click "Run VoloView" and check off the "Don't show this dialog box again". 
That's it.  Thanks Autodesk.
