People are expensive compared to the cost of SolidWorks. By about
100:1 or so.
So why are you bothering with that extra “EDrawing” tool? (Or whatever it
was called.) With all the trouble it takes to set it up, why not just use
another copy of SolidWorks for viewing those CAD files?
It’s because SolidWorks really isn’t that cheap, that’s why. Isn’t it? But
the extra work you have to do to save money is itself incurring costs for
your business -- hidden costs, compliance costs and licence administration
headaches, opportunity costs (time wasted not earning revenue), all that.
