eDrawings
eDrawings® is the only CAD viewer on iPad, iPad mini, iPhone and iPod Touch that allows you to view native eDrawings files as well as native SolidWorks® parts, assemblies and drawings files. In addition, eDrawings allows convenient viewing of DWG and DXF files.
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.
eDrawings is the email-enabled communication tool that dramatically eases sharing of product design information. 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.
Multi-touch gestures let you pan, zoom, and rotate models easily. eDrawings also supports configurations, drawing sheets, and exploded views for eDrawings files published from SolidWorks® and all other supported CAD software.
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 2D or 3D CAD data using multi-touch
* Animate 3D standard views as well as 2D drawing views.
* Browse your assembly components tree, configurations and drawing sheets
* View your designs in full screen and double tap to fit it on screen
* 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

Paid for the app even after reading all the bad reviews. App doesn’t function. I have the free desktop viewer which loads the files fine. This just sits and spins… 0/5 if I could

Maybe this works well on small models, but this thing completely falls on its face when you try to open up anything remotely complex, even on an M2 iPad.

Solidworks already costs a lot. Even the viewer charges as well. Seriously?

This app is a joke. Owning an automation engineering company that has use SW since 96’ it’s a joke. I wish things worked like they used to. I could say more but it definitely not worth anything. Even if it was free. They just don’t care. As engineers we collaborate and communicate all day long and wish the tools we are forced to use work.

The app just gets stuck rendering a file of 60 mb. What’s the point to have this for .easm files viewer if it doesn’t work!
I bought it for opening and viewing files larger than 60 mb, sections of facilities to build that should be effectively discussed when outside the Construction Site. This will never happen using this app.

Funciona perfecto y puedo ver el vídeo de las piezas fabricadas. O 360 grados fácilmente. Gracias.

Just needed a basic reader for schematics and cad drawings, and this seemed like the best option, especially as it’s not subscription based.

Opens and instantly closes

No point to this $2 app...

It just doesn’t work, doesn’t even start. I’ve got an iPhone X... and this is bizarre, app just doesn’t open. Neither when you start it myself nor when you open a fairly simple model with it. First time that I pay for an app and it can’t do -anything-

The supposed 2020 file support is not true. This does not open 2020 SWFiles.

Somehow this app viewed my large assembly ~260 parts better than Solidworks on a beefy desktop PC. Works very fast. Four stars, however, because it lacks the ability to move parts with dynamic mates, like turn a wheel relative to the chassis.

I got the base app to try the app, no need to purchase the Pro app at higher price. Now the extra features Pro offers would be helpful. To get the extra features you must pay full price for Pro app after already paying money for base app. Would be nice to have an upgrade price/option.

Downloaded the app and the sample data that comes with the app works like it should.
When I try to open parts or drawings or assemblies something opens on the app but no data is displayed and I can zoom, rotate and select the views without any data shown.
Contacted customer service and got an email back asking some questions about my device but did not hear anything back after my response a month ago.
I DON’T RECOMMEND THIS APP - IT’S NOT WORKING!

All the tools I’ve used work. iCloud functions most the time for file operations. Google Drive is unreliable.
notesboy • Feb 11, 2019
It’s not compatible with 2019 files and won’t open them so don’t buy this unless you want older versions of cad operating systems.
Mjames211 • Jan 21, 2019
It’s awesome for older files, but in a recent upgrade to solid works 2019 I discovered that this app is completely worthless.
Gbelcik • Nov 9, 2018
As title says, it is not opening files saved in 2019 solidworks. I will update review when it is fixed.
