  Containers, Workplanes, Docuplanes, Labels,
• 2d eDrawings

  geometry is shown

  improperly displayed as squares

  honored
• The line pen size that is the line thickness is
  not reflected to eDrawing.
• The sheet order in eDrawing is not identical to
  the sheet order in OSDM

• Troubleshooting What if
• On publishing, eDrawings doesn't open up
  automatically with the published file
• Check if any instances of the 'eModelViewer.exe'
  are running in the background.
• Use the Task Manager to figure this out. Kill any
  instances of the same.
• Now try publishing from OSDM.
• If the above does not work, launch the eDrawings
  viewer EModelViewer.exe manually. Do this by
  going to ltprimary partitiongt\Program
  Files\Common Files\eDrawings2005 This location
  would not change even if you choose to install
  OSDM to a separate location.
• Once the viewer is up, try publishing once again.
  
• If none of the above works, this would probably
  suggest that the registry has been corrupted
• and would warrant a reinstallation of OSD/M via
  Add/Remove Programs gtgt OSD/M gtgt Change gtgt
  Repair.
