Review/Measure-Enabled Files

Review-enabled files make the following eDrawings Professional tools available:
  All markup tools
Cross Section
Move Component (assemblies or assembly drawings only)
Stamp
Measure-enabled files allow you to make exact measurements of models with Measure .
You can disable measurement when you first create an eDrawings file. You cannot change this status once an eDrawings file is created; you must republish it.

Measure-enabled vs. Measure-disabled

To protect the details of a design, you can make measure-disabled eDrawings files. You can save measure-enabled files as measure-disabled files. However, once a file is saved as measure-disabled, you cannot make it measure-enabled.

Enabling Measure

To enable Measure, do one of the following:

  • In eDrawings, in the Save As dialog box, select Enable measure.
  • In SOLIDWORKS, in the Save As dialog box, click Options and select Okay to measure this eDrawings file.

Disabling Measure

To disable Measure, do one of the following:

  • In eDrawings, in the Save As dialog box, clear Enable measure.

    If the file is already measure-disabled, the Enable measure option is hidden.

  • In SOLIDWORKS, in the Save As dialog box, click Options and clear Okay to measure this eDrawings file.
