eDrawings® Pro is the professional 2D and 3D CAD collaboration app for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch that can view native SolidWorks® files (part, assembly, drawings), eDrawings files and DraftSight® (DWG™, DXF™) files. You can easily view models and access configurations, drawing sheets, and exploded views for eDrawings files published from SolidWorks and all other supported CAD software.

Markup! Measure! Section! eDrawings® Pro takes you to the next level of 2D and 3D collaboration with more functionality, including dynamic cross section views, measurements, markups & annotations and the unique ability to share it all by email!

eDrawings includes Augmented Reality (AR). This allows you to view your 3D models in 1:1 scale into the real world. By simply activating the device’s camera, you can bring your virtual 3D designs in a real context and see them in situ, sitting on your desk or on your conference room table or even in the palm of your hand, through your iPad, Pad mini, iPhone or iPod Touch’s screen. Move around the room and see your design from any perspective.

With an intuitive user interface, eDrawings® Pro enables you to dynamically view cross sections of your models in XY, YZ, or ZX directions from both sides and easily drag the cross section plane on screen or with a convenient slider. You can also measure distances in your designs, with easy-to-use selection filters for faces, edges, vertices and holes.

With eDrawings® Pro you can create markups on your drawings, including text notes, freehand notations, dimensions, cross-section views, photos and camera snapshots.

You can share your marked up eDrawings files with others for review and further comments. All markups with history are saved within the eDrawings file.

Features:
* Intuitive and easy-to-use user interface
* Visualize your 3D models in real context with Augmented Reality (AR)
* Open 3D (EASM, EPRT, SLDASM, SLDPRT, IGES, IGS, JT, STEP, STP, IFC), 2D (EDRW, SLDDRW, DWG, DXF) and associated files from any source: email attachments, cloud storage services (Dropbox™, SkyDrive®, Google Drive, YouSendIt®, and others), web and FTP sites, networks, and iTunes® File Sharing.
* Zoom, pan, and rotate your 3D and 2D CAD data using multi-touch
* Browse your assembly components tree, model configurations and drawing sheets
* Hide, show, or make components transparent
* Select View mode: standard orthogonal views, shaded with edges, perspective view
* Play animated 3D standard views as well as 2D drawing views
* View your designs in full screen and double tap to fit it on screen

Pros and cons of eDrawings Pro app for iPhone and iPad

eDrawings Pro app good for

Excellent tool for visualizing your 3D models when you are on the road. The augmented reality helps in selling my products to my customers. They can see them in their own settings. One big problem is that in iOS9 its crashing a lot. Please fix the bugs. FYI, I am using iPad 4 and iPhone 6s Do you have any plans to upgrade this app to support MBD 3D Views?
Its a great app to open Solidworks assembly while on the road and to communicate with customers and colleagues. The only problem is it crashes on my Ipad Pro with IOS 9 when rotating or zooming in on an assembly.
Im using it to show design to the customer or to do fast measures on customer site. But I need some additional functionality: 1. Allow simply AR without mark. Just background from cam for making pictures. 2. I want to show structure 6m height without having mark still in viewport. I want to use mark only for model placing and scaling. Then I want to use my phone/tablet sensors to look on to model. This will allow me to impress customer. When I scale my large design to small piece of paper it looks poor. Can you also add walk thru model? Regards, Stefan Wozniak

Some bad moments

Sorry guys, what happenend to this app? Since the 2016 update nothing seems to work anymore. Theres a major issue with the reference point (zero point) of easm files. It is nearly impossible to rotate a part, especially when you zoomed in before. Thats because the app references to the original zero point of the easm file. This point might be far away from the part itself, so rotating a part can be very weird and sometimes nearly impossible. ALL THE PREVIOUS VERSIONS DIDT HAVE THIS ISSUE! There was some kind of a "auto zero point", depending on where you touched the part. Please fix that! Im using this app to show 3D files to customers and I can not use the app anymore! In addition the markup feature has also a bug. In a cross-section view you can not mark up anything. The pen and the textbox do not work anymore. Something is wrong here! SLDDRW parts also can not be opened anymore. The app crashes everytime. I am using an iPad Pro 12,9".
I dont know how well it works because it doesnt find my files I have sent to my emails - even though Ive saved those to several places including iCloud...
Не открывает модели созданные в sw2015!Do not open a model created in sw2015!
Complete waste of money - went pro because their free app was crashing. Their own EDrawings files of only 60MB size crashes this app. We have tried to work with SW support but they treat us with disdain because we only have 4 seats of SW. We have seats of Solidworks and really wanted to find a platform to share models with non-SW people like managers and sales people. SW is loosing badly and this kind of horrible support (their Mac EDrawings app is the worst!) is going to drive customers away. After this experience, we are actively moving from SW to Autodesk and Onshape. Since I am the purchasing decision maker, it will happen.
I purchased this app a couple of years ago and it worked fine for a while. For the last year or so I have been unable to open any more solidworks files with it. The option to open with eDrawings just doesnt show up on my 6S Plus with the latest iOS. I was unsuccessful to resolve this issue despite several email communications with their customer service. It was a very useful app while it worked, I am very disappointed that it is still on sale and it doesnt work.
I am disappointed because this was a waste of time and money. I rarely purchase apps and thought this one would be worth buying. I bought this about a week ago. Too bad there were no reviews yet for this version at the time. I emailed them about the issue on November 30th and havent received any response yet. Their non pro app isnt even free so theres no way to try it before buying the pro version. I really hope they fix this soon cause I was really looking forward to using this.
