Last week I was going back and forward with a colleague of mine debating which SolidWorks model we should use for an upcoming project. As I was traveling and therefore out of the office, eDrawings turned out to be the perfect collaborating tool. 🙂 I think that many of us “old time” 3D CAD user are taking this collaboration tool for given and maybe even forgotten about it a little bit, but lately they have made some great enhancements that we can not afford going unnoticed.
1.eDrawings Argumented Reality…
This really works! Being able to use your tablets or smart phone’s camera to place your 3D design in your current environment is not just cool looking, but great as a sales tool or to present to the customer how things really is going to look like in its real life setting.

2.eDrawings on iPhone and Android devices…
Being fully supported and reasonably priced I think eDrawings have found a new comfortable home on your favorite mobile device. Awesome!

3.Bring Markups back from eDrawings into SolidWorks…
This is one of my favorites! We can now bring markups back into our favorite design software, SolidWorks, and there by eliminating those scary brake downs in communication that no ones likes.
1)In eDrawings…Create your eDrawing Markup’s
2)In eDrawings…File->Save Markup
3)In SolidWorks Drawings…Insert->eDrawing Markup File…
4)Result…The markup right there inside SolidWorks, no confusion
Conclusion… I think eDrawings has upped the standard. Making sure that collaboration is their game!!
