I thought that Version 8 of PowerCadd was going to support the "Quick Look" feature in Leopard?

It's a really handy feature when you're looking for something but don't know in which file it is, to just select a file in the finder and look at it without having to open the file in the host program.

Does anybody know anything about this?

Amazing - Leopard lets me view dwg's in quicklook, I think its E-Drawings that enables that functionality, but pc files don't work.

I just downloaded E-drawings and it does let you see the files in Quick Look, but it doesn't do a very good job. The line weights don't work right, so what you see is kind of globby. And enlarging the Quick Look window doesn't help. Are you seeing a better image on your screen?

yep - its a little blobby but it does give me an idea of what I'm looking at. Its nothing compared to pdf's though! Also, InDesign files don't work either.
