eDrawings® products include the eDrawings Viewer, available in free and fee-based versions, and eDrawings Publishers. The Viewer is used to view and create eDrawings files and other supported file types. The publishers are used to create eDrawings files from inside CAD applications.
You can download eDrawings products at www.edrawings.com.
eDrawings
Professional
The professional version of the eDrawings Viewer requires a license. eDrawings Professional is intended primarily for CAD users who need to
share product designs and coordinate design reviews. eDrawings Professional lets you create
markup-enabled eDrawings files and to use tools such as measurement, exploded views, and
dynamic cross sections.
SOLIDWORKS Document Manager
SOLIDWORKS installations include the SOLIDWORKS Document Manager,
SWDocumentMgr.dll. The stand-alone version of the eDrawings Viewer does not include this
add-on.
When eDrawings is installed on a system without SOLIDWORKS, drawings that
include elements such as custom properties and tables may not be displayed with their most
current data. When you open a SOLIDWORKS drawing, you are warned about the missing DLL and
given the option to install it. If you continue without doing the download, SOLIDWORKS
drawings that rely on the software are marked with a warning that some of the content may
not be up-to-date.
The SOLIDWORKS Document Manager software is not available as a
download for eDrawings on the Mac.
