Save Assembly as an eDrawings file crashes SOLIDWORKS in 2017 SP3

There is a known regression in SOLIDWORKS 2017 SP3 with regards to saving eDrawing files. If you attempt to save an assembly as an eDrawings file, either through the File > Save As or Publish to eDrawings command, it will cause SOLIDWORKS to crash. This issue is being addressed by SPR 1024994 by the SOLIDWORKS development team.

Workaround:

At the moment, the workaround for this issue is to open eDrawings, load the native SOLIDWORKS file, then perform the save option within eDrawings to save the part.
