* Interrogate designs and collaborate with precision using Measure, MarkUp and Section functionality Whether you are involved in commercial manufacture, purchasing, a maker or a student, eDrawings Viewer helps you to communicate, share and collaborate with high fidelity 3D data with an easily shareable lightweight file in its own viewer. * Zoom, pan and rotate your 2D or 3D CAD data For anyone who needs to view and interrogate 3D design data. * Open 3D (EASM, EPRT, SLDASM, SLDPRT, IGES, IGS, JT, STEP, STP, IFC), 2D (EDRW, SLDDRW, DWG, DXF) and associated files from: email attachments, cloud storage services (Dropbox™, SkyDrive®, Google Drive, YouSendIt®, and others), web and FTP sites, network drives * Intuitive and easy-to-use user interface
With dynamic sectioning collaborators can see any internal or external view of the design they require and mark-up enables them to give precise and contextual feedback. The eDrawings 2017 file viewer is quickly becoming that tool as DS SOLIDWORKS has provided us with the ability to open some additional file types with the 2017 release.
You can load and send files via email to collaborate more effectively with everyone involved in product development, including people who are not regular CAD software users to interpret and understand 2D and 3D designs.ĮDrawings enables 2D & 3D product evaluation and collaboration through the MarkUp, Measure and Section tools. Fast, reliable, and convenient, eDrawings files can supply representations of 3D models and 2D drawings created. eDrawings is an email-enabled communication tool that dramatically eases the sharing of product design information. eDrawings Viewer enables anyone to quickly and easily view, print and review native eDrawings and SOLIDWORKS files in addition to AutoCAD DWG and DXF files.
Instead of dragging the files out of Outlook or other programs and dropping them into Windows Explorer, right-click on the file and click “Save As.” This will allow you to save the file in Windows Explorer directly and the “created by” date will fall in between the allowable time period.EDrawings Viewer is the only CAD viewer for Mac which delivers a premier 3D viewing experience for non CAD professionals. Luckily, there seems to be an easy fix for this. The error is explained in SPR 1182057 which states, “This crash may occur if the value of the ‘Date created’, ‘Date modified’, or ‘Date accessed’ value of the file is not between midnight, Januthrough DecemUniversal Coordinated Time (UTC).” Thank you for choosing eDrawings eDrawings is free software that lets you view and print eDrawings(eDRW, ePRT, eASM), native SolidWorks documents (sldprt, sldasm, slddrw), DXF, and DWG format files. Please refer to Solution S-068140 for more information about the 32-bit Limited Edition of eDrawings.
Specifically, the “created by” date will change to a very low or high date that is not within SolidWorks’ range of acceptable dates. Yes, provided that the client has installed eDrawings 2015 Special Edition (SE) on a Win 7 32 bit client they will be able to view files in a SOLIDWORKS Workgroup PDM 2015 Vault. The reasoning for this is when the file is dragged over, the file properties change and SolidWorks is unable to read it. The crash seems to occur when files are dragged straight out of Outlook or other programs directly into Window’s Explorer. It seems to be exclusive to non-native SolidWorks files such as STEP files but could happen to native SolidWorks files as well.
Luckily, I believe to have pinpointed why this issue occurs and how to prevent it. It is a very frustrating time when you want to open a file in SolidWorks and the program crashes.
