Problem
eDrawings allows users who do not want to use a SOLIDWORKS license to review and measure SOLIDWORKS or eDrawings files. This article provides instructions on how to enable the ability to measure eDrawings and SOLIDWORKS files in eDrawings Viewer and Professional.
Solution 1: SOLIDWORKS Files
Native SOLIDWORKS files opened in eDrawings have measurement enabled by default, including exported eDrawings files.
Solution 1: eDrawings Files
To enable measurement for eDrawings files, the file must be exported from SOLIDWORKS Professional or Premium as EPRT/EASM/EDRW with measurement enabled. Follow the steps below:
- Open SOLIDWORKS
- Go to Tools> Options > System Options > Export
- Change to the eDrawings file type EPRT/EASM/EDRW
-
Check the export option "Enable Measure" and click "OK"
- Go to File > Save as
- Change the file type to an eDrawings file type (EPRT, EASM, or EDRW)
- Save the file
-
Open the file in eDrawings to verify that Measure is enabled
