eDRAWINGS AND eDRAWINGS

PROFESSIONAL
THE EASIEST WAY TO SHARE DATA

SHARE, VIEW, AND COLLABORATE

Work more effectively with everyone involved in your product development process by using eDrawings® software,
the first email-enabled communication tool. eDrawings is the easiest way to share data across multiple CAD
environments with CAD users and non-CAD users alike. With unique capabilities such as point-and-click animations,
hyperlinking and STL output, eDrawings helps everyone to interpret and understand both 2D and 3D design data
including Product & Manufacturing Information (PMI) created using SOLIDWORKS® Model Based Definition.
