Southwest
DWG Zip |
You can Open/Run or Save this file. It is a self extracting Zip
file that will need the number of the vendor folder that
contains your Southwest Aluminum catalog. There is a ? in the
place where the vendor number needs to go when you run this
file. For example, if Southwest is in the Vend2 folder in your
GDS program, you will have to change the "Unzip to" line to
C:\EstWinV14\Vend2 and then click Unzip. Once the files are
unzipped, you will be able to see the details inside GDS. |
