    I have to assume not. Mark B. hinted at how to do this a year ago on the SW forums, before SW2008 actually came out. Thanks to Josh, though, for actually detailing it out!

    yeah, it's nothing against the License agreement for sure. They had to go and make it easy though huh? It would be nice if the scene editor was included since even basic SolidWorks uses scenes now.

    What I would *really* like is to be able to "hack" the lighting effects for materials. Regular solidworks can use "appearances" now, but you have to have PhotoWorks to edit those appearances. So I'm stuck with castings that look like they are high-gloss plated instead of matte...

    so true Charles. I've been working on tryingto hack that as well. I'll post it, if I get it to work.
