eDrawings

eDrawings is free software that lets you view and print eDrawings (eDRW, ePRT, eASM), DXF, and DWG format files. The Easiest Way to Share 3D Data Across Multiple CAD Environments! The tool is a freeware utility that will give the user the power to view, create and share 3D models and 2D drawings. Collaborate more effectively with everyone involved in product development by using the software, the first email-enabled communication tool that dramatically eases sharing of product design information.

With SolidWorks eDrawings Professional you can create review-enabled the app files that allow an unlimited number of recipients to mark up and provide feedback on product designs. With the Professional version, users can communicate and collaborate with clarity to maximize smooth product development. For the Professional version Mobile users, Augmented Reality mode enables designers to share and show 3D designs and concepts that can be viewed in the context of the real world. All project stakeholders can understand the impact of real-world constraints on designs and gain a greater understanding of products and proposals.

Building upon the strong foundation of the Viewer, the Professional version enables true design collaboration with markup functionality allowing users to create, edit, and save reviews by redlining 2D or 3D data and adding comments. Users of eDrawings Professional can also measure geometry within an eDrawing files when dimensions are missing, but sensitive design data can be protected by simply disabling the measurement feature.



The software allows users to gain an understanding of product assembly and internal structure with dynamic cross-sectioning and component move and explodes. View SOLIDWORKS animations, simulation, and plastic results to understand design intent, performance, and manufacturability.

The Viewer delivers the premier 3D viewing tool for non CAD professionals. eDrawings 2023 Viewer enables anyone to quickly and easily view, print, and review the app, SOLIDWORKS, and AutoCAD DWG and DXF files. The Viewer is available for Windows, Mac, and Mobile devices for true cross-platform design collaboration and communication.

With a highly compressed file size and exceptional ease of use, non CAD users can now investigate complex product structures, 3D models and 2D drawings with innovative built-in interpretation tools include 3D Pointer, Virtual Folding, Point-and-click Animation, and Hyperlinking. In addition to 2D and 3D product data, users of eDrawings Viewer can view SOLIDWORKS Simulation and Plastic results to understand the product performance and manufacturability.

For users of the app mobile solutions Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) modes are available to further enhance the rich nature of your 3D data.  AR for iOS and Android devices enable you to 'virtually see' your designs scaled correctly in its real-world environment.  VR is available for iOS phones using Google Cardboard to easily visualize and communicate product ideas.

Share the files from your native CAD system to enable easy design communication across CAD environments with the click of a button. Reduce bandwidth requirements more than 95% by publishing and emailing the files instead of CAD files.

eDrawing Publisher supports the creation of the app latest from SOLIDWORKS®, Autodesk Inventor®, Pro/ENGINEER® CATIA® V5, SIEMENS NX®, Solid Edge®, PTC CREO software, and SketchUp®. In addition to CAD solutions, eDrawings RapidFire Lite supports the creation of the software from IGES and STEP neutral file formats.

Design & View In The 'Real World'
Augmented Reality with the app mobile delivers exceptional design communication by allowing you to view your designs and concepts in the context of the real world. Understand the impact of the environment on your design choices, communicate more clearly, and enable your customers to understand the value of your designs throughout the product development process.

Communicate in 3D
Leverage your 3D design work to communicate with clarity and precision. The software removes the inherent ambiguities of 2D drawings in a lightweight file containing 2D and 3D product easily shared via email.

Collaborate Without Constraints
This program enables 3D collaboration without having to worry about software compatibility.  The mark-up capabilities within the app ensure easy two-way design communication with internal and external project stakeholders. With the program, you have complete control of your design Intellectual Property sharing only what you need to share while enabling easy product communication to ensure on-time to market delivery.
