Large Assembly Settings
If enabled, 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.

bodies not 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.
