Setting Options and Passwords for eDrawings Files

When you save or publish a file as an eDrawings file, the options and password settings are streamlined.

When you save or publish an eDrawings file, the Options and Password buttons are no longer in the Save As dialog box. Instead, the Save Configurations to eDrawings file or Save Sheets to eDrawings file dialog box appears with the Options and Password buttons.

To set options and passwords for eDrawings files:

  1. In the SOLIDWORKS software, click Save As or File > Save As.
  2. In the Save As dialog box, in Save as type, select eDrawings and click Save.
  3. In the Save Configurations to eDrawings file or Save Sheets to eDrawings file dialog box, click Options or Password to access settings.
    You can also click Publish to eDrawings or File > Publish to eDrawings to access these dialog boxes.
