You can email SolidWorks eDrawings files to others using the Send 
tool. The email contains detailed instructions for the recipient about how to use the eDrawings application.
- When you use Send to create .exe or .zip files from eDrawings x64, a message in the dialog box notifies you that the file will run on 64-bit systems only.
- If you use Send and you also have the eDrawings 32-bit version installed, you can set Save as type to eDrawings 32-bit Executable Files (*.exe) or eDrawings 32-bit Zip Files (*.zip).
If you use Send and you also have the eDrawings 32-bit version installed, the Send As dialog box contains options to send 32-bit .exe and .zip files.
