Large Assembly Mode
If selected, high-quality HLR/HLV views in assembly drawings do not contain
shaded data in the published eDrawings (.edrw)
file. If all views in the drawing are high quality, no shaded data is included in
the eDrawings file and you cannot animate the drawing in eDrawings.
Review-Enabled
If you have eDrawings Professional installed, eDrawings files are review-enabled when you create them from SOLIDWORKS documents; if you have the complimentary eDrawings Viewer installed, the eDrawings files are not review-enabled.

included in the SpeedPak are not visible in eDrawings. To ensure that the faces
and bodies are visible, use the Save As or
Publish methods.
