eDrawings
Professional |
Publish eDrawings files from multiple CAD Platforms
Publish eDrawings files directly from SolidWorks®, AutoCAD®, Inventor®, Pro/ENGINEER® CATIA® V5 Unigraphics/NX® and CoCreate's OneSpace software with the click of a button. |
 |
 |
Ultra Compact Files
Reduce bandwidth requirements more than 95% by publishing and emailing eDrawings files instead of CAD files. |
 |
 |
Built-in Viewer
View and print native SolidWorks®, supported AutoCAD® DWG and DXF files. |
 |
 |
Drawing Layout
Open individual views in a drawing and arrange them as desired, regardless of how the views were arranged in the original drawing. eDrawings automatically arranges the views intelligently and enables printing and exporting of any subset of a drawing. |
 |
 |
Hyperlinking
Simply click on any view annotation and the corresponding view is immediately
highlighted, making navigating a drawing as easy as browsing a web page. |
 |
 |
3D Pointer
Easily identify and match geometry in multiple drawing views, allowing easier interpretation when comparing the same location within different views. |
 |
 |
Point-and-click Animation
Quickly interpret and understand any SolidWorks drawing by dynamically viewing the 3D model as it automatically rotates through each drawing view. |
 |
 |
Share & View Design Analyses
Easily share design analysis results created from COSMOSWorks® or COSMOSXpress software. |
 |
 |
View MoldflowXpress Output
Review output produced from MoldflowXpress — a wizard-based design validation tool included in SolidWorks software that is used for quickly and easily testing the manufacturability of plastic injection-molded parts. |
 |
 |
Save in STL and other file formats
Take advantage of eDrawings files for rapid prototyping and presentation purposes by saving files in STL, TIFF, JPEG, or BMP formats. |
 |
 |
| Advanced Collaboration Tools |
|
|
Enable Markup
Create, edit, and save reviews by redlining 2D or 3D data and adding written comments. |
|
 |
Enable Measure
Measure geometry in part, assembly, and drawing files when dimensions are omitted from an eDrawings file. To protect sensitive design data, simply disable the measurement feature. |
|
 |
Password Protection
Password-protect your eDrawings files, encouraging users to more fully share design data. |
|
 |
Dynamic Cross Sectioning
Visualize designs more effectively by moving a dynamic cross-sectioning plane through parts and assemblies to see design details typically hidden from view. |
|
 |
Move Components and Explode Views
Understand assembly structure more quickly – simply drag and drop components with your cursor to view an exploded assembly. Return components to their normal position by double-clicking on the component. |
|
 |
View Configurations
View SolidWorks configurations, multiple design variations of a part or assembly model displayed within a single document. |
|
 |
Share and View SolidWorks Animator Output
View animations created with SolidWorks® Animator and observe in real time how moving parts interact as true solids. |
|
 |
View Mass Properties
Allow eDrawings file recipients to view dimensions, mass, volume, density, and surface area of the part or assembly shown in the eDrawings file. |
