Features & Capabilities

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.

User Reviews

Users find eDrawings Pro useful for on-the-go viewing of SolidWorks eDrawings and SW2019 compatibility fixes, but reliability is a major problem. Repeated crashes with large files and assemblies, plus a clunky, imprecise measurement tool, undermine value. Compatibility and performance vary across updates, and some file types won’t open or render properly. The UI is dated and feature-poor, with limited markup, no ARKit or Apple Pencil support, and few settings. Support responsiveness is often lacking. Overall, many feel the app isn’t worth the price until major stability improvements arrive.
Pros
  • Good for viewing SolidWorks eDrawings on the go and remote review.
  • SW2019 support added, improving compatibility for on-the-go viewing.
  • Useful for showing SolidWorks files to clients or teammates when away from a desktop.
Cons
  • Crashes and instability when opening large or complex files/assemblies (e.g., STEP or sldasm).
  • Measurement tool is cumbersome, with inaccurate measurements, hard to use, and lacks fractions/units options.
  • Inconsistent file format compatibility and performance issues across updates; some files won’t open or render properly.
  • Outdated UI and limited features (few markup tools, no ARKit/Apple Pencil support, few settings).
  • Support responsiveness can be slow; refund issues and delayed assistance.

I would love to have motion studies like the desktop version does. Please add this functionality if possible.

eDrawings Pro still crashing. Does the latest iPad version go hand in hand with the WIN version that was released on 27 February 2024? My WINDOWS Laptop was crashing prior to installing the 27 February 2024 release. Now if you could get the iPad version stable I would be extremely grateful. Update December 2025- just purchased a new iPad Pro with M5 processor, 256Gb. Had high hopes this app would finally work without crashing. Well it still doesn’t work. You ought to just remove it from the app stop before disappointing more people. I’d like to help you fix it if you’re interested. Update February 2026. Still not usable. What’s ironic is I can open my 500Mb step files with the free 3D PDF Reader app from Tech Soft 3D. I also have a paid eDrawings Pro W11 that it opens with as well. Please fix this or remove it from the App Store.

I’m not sure how this app is considered a “Pro” app. All I wanted to be able to do was to open Solidworks assemblies and be able to take measurements from surfaces of different components. It appears this app cannot even handle that simple task. There is a measurement tool, but it is nearly impossible to use. I also don’t see any settings menu. Where am I supposed to change the units of measurement? Sorry, but this is not worth the money for me.
