eDrawings

What is eDrawings?

eDrawings is a native macOS CAD viewer for reviewing 2D and 3D design files without needing a full CAD authoring tool. It helps engineers, manufacturing teams, sales staff, and other collaborators open and inspect eDrawings, SOLIDWORKS, DXF, and DWG files on a Mac. Common uses include checking model geometry, measuring designs, printing drawings, and sharing feedback during product development. On Mac, the app supports many of the core viewing features found in the Windows version, including animation, measurement, and printing, and review-enabled files can unlock additional collaboration tools such as markup and section views. It fits best in workflows where people need to understand and communicate design details rather than create or edit full CAD models from scratch.

Key features

• Open eDrawings, SOLIDWORKS, DXF, and DWG files on Mac
• Inspect 2D drawings and 3D models for design review
• Measure model geometry to check dimensions and distances
• Print design files and save output for sharing
• Use markup and section tools when review-enabled files provide them
• View animations and model configurations supported by the source file

Safety overview

Status: Safe

This is legitimate CAD viewing software for macOS. Access to local files is normal because the app is built to open, inspect, print, and review engineering drawings and models. If you remove it, associated design files stay on your Mac, but you will lose this app's viewing and review functions until you reinstall it.

Recommendation: Keep eDrawings if you open or review CAD files on your Mac. If you no longer work with SOLIDWORKS, DXF, DWG, or eDrawings files, you can remove it without affecting your original documents.
