Is there software available with which I can open and view Solidworks files SLDPRT, SLDASM, SLDDRW. I am a relative novice, using Ubuntu 12.04. Cheers.

Ubuntu users were able to install eDrawings 2010 using wine which lets you view solidworks files.

eDrawinds viewer can be downloaded for free from the official website

you can install wine or playonlinux with the following command

sudo apt-get install wine

or

sudo apt-get install playonlinux

playonlinux is a graphical abstraction for wine with an easier configuration and installation options, it lets you install eDrawings with less hassle.

    The above code will install both. I honestly see no reason both needs to be installed. – Virusboy May 30 '14 at 05:55
  • Yes you are right Virusboy, but playonlinux already requires wine anyway (if I still remember the dependencies). It is possible to just go with playonlinux installation, that would be easier for new Ubuntu users. – Ahmed Sghaier May 30 '14 at 13:23
