Q. How can I generate a Viewpoint Media file from SolidWorks 2000?

An alternative to the built-in MTS exporter is the PolyTrans exporter. The benefits are many more options to control export and more frequent updates.

That's usually why people buy PolyTrans when their 3D package may already have an existing importer/exporter in place.
