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 * Double tap zooms to drawing views * Markup your designs and send to others and read others’ markups * Measure your design data * View cross sections of your 3D designs, even in AR mode * Adapt the scale of your 3D model in AR mode * Freeze the background in AR mode with viewpoint lock to prolong AR experience without holding up your device. * Sample files included For more information, visit: http://www.edrawingsviewer.com ## Rankings - #309,403 — Overall ## Review summary 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. ## Similar extensions and apps - [eDrawings](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id520231936) — 2.50 / 5 - [SoftPlan reView](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id592417533) — 1.50 / 5 - [3Draw Modeling](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1566893453) — 2.20 / 5 - [CAD Smart Modeling – 3D CAD](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6476608505) — 3.50 / 5 - [EazyDraw](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1480629069) — 4.10 / 5 - [Graphite 3D – AR CAD with AI](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1523391511) — 3.70 / 5 - [CAD FastView: DWG & DXF Viewer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6780415938) - [SolidInsight](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1601944650) — 4.40 / 5 - [DXF Viewer: CAD & Measure Tool](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6762408082) - [DraftPlanar: PDF Plan Viewer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6760685613) — 5.00 / 5 - [SView-views 3D CAD drawing](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id954963044) — 5.00 / 5 - [biiCADo Mobile - CAD App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6478776516) — 2.30 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id553557031)
