How can I share a drawing done in PartWorks with a client? I have tried Word, Paint, Rhino, PdF and nothing will copy / paste a .crv file. Any suggestions? I just want them to be able to approve a job before I cut it. I know they can download a demo but I just want them to see it without going to all of that extra work.

Bring up your drawing in PartWorks and select the parts you want your client to see - if "all," then cntrl-A to select everything.

Under the File menu at the top left of your screen, click on Export, then pick the type of file you want: Encapsulated Postscript, AutoCad DXF, or Adobe Illustrator format.

Hope this helps!

Tim...
Charlies method will export the vectors so that you can print or view them in another program. If you preview the toolpaths on the 3D tab, you can save the preview as a .bmp or .jpeg to give the customer an idea of what the finished product will look like.
