Please refer to these instructions to create a 3D PDF:
A 3D PDF can be zoomed, rotated and panned in Adobe Reader. This SOLIDWORKS help document goes over the process of creating an eDrawings file from a SOLIDWORKS part or assembly:Īnother option for communicating a 3D model to a customer without CAD software is a 3D PDF. An eDrawings file does not contain feature data, eliminates the need to send referenced documents, and often has a reduced file size. Starting with 2019 eDrawings Free Viewer Now Includes New FunctionalityĪlthough eDrawings can open SOLIDWORKS files directly, it is often beneficial to save a part or assembly out of SOLIDWORKS as an eDrawings file. Refer to this document in our help center for information on enabling measuring in eDrawings:
In some cases, models created in SOLIDWORKS can even be measured in eDrawings. The viewer is free, and can be downloaded here: eDrawings Viewer is available for Windows, Mac and Mobile devices for true cross platform design collaboration and communication. SOLIDWORKS files can be opened directly from eDrawings, or SOLIDWORKS files can be saved as eDrawings files and then opened with eDrawings. The eDrawings Viewer enables anyone to quickly and easily view, print and review 3D models created in SOLIDWORKS. Two simple ways to view 3D models created in SOLIDWORKS outside of SOLIDWORKS are via the eDrawings viewer or a 3D PDF. Although 2D drawings and views are practical for many situations, the ability to rotate and zoom on a 3D model can be invaluable for expressing a design to customers or coworkers. We are frequently asked how a model created in SOLIDWORKS can be viewed in a three dimensional space by customers without SOLIDWORKS or 3D CAD software in general.
