Can Maxwell be installed with the basic Solidworks (not Premium or Professional)? Or does it need Photoworks to function?

I'm assuming it does need Photoworks because of the camera right?

Doesn't need Photoworks at all (I don't have it). The camera is part of the main application.

So it works with just Solidworks (and not just Professional/Premium)?

I'm installing Maxwell on another company machine - i search for the dll file but when i go to add ins there is no option for Maxwell.

Yes, it should work. I just have basic basic Solidworks, no Professional or Premium anything.

Actually, I think SW service pack SP4 is out now. Has anyone tried it with SP4 yet?

Hi,

It seems that SP4 fixes some of the known incompatibilities between addins:

The following issues have been addressed in 2007 SP04 which is currently available for download from our website.

SR# -- 1-388422091
SPR# -- Description
-----------------------
347954 - eDrawings Publisher for SolidWorks crashes in ActiveModelDocChangeNotify when a second add-in is present

We have checked the plugin runs fine in SP4, we are testing it to get more conclusions.

Juan

Hi Will,

Really sorry, I really though that it was clear after superbad's post. Photoworks is not needed to run Maxwell. I will be more carefully with your post from now, I really try to read and reply everything

Cheers,

Juan

Woo hooooooooo! I think i've finally managed to get the plugin to work. And network my mac with xp64 to my PC which was a learning process in itself.

Hopefully it wont crash too much.

I have anothe question though - In the task bar in Solidworks the old maxwell plugin is still there - There are 2 'Maxwell' titles at he top. How do I get rid of the old one? I've uninstalled it, deleted the dll etc but it still appears.

And when you create a new material should a little preview square show up next to it? - it only seems to show when i open an existing material.
