the only thing that i really don't like is the dimensioning feature could be built out more and be more user friendly.. maybe something similar to the smart dimensioning in solidworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Terrible performance"
What do you like best about SolidWorks eDrawings?

Can open many 3D CAD file types. Can measure. Works with 3D mouse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolidWorks eDrawings?

Performance is terrible. GUI is awful and very very glitchy, especially if you have multiple displays with different DPI. It resembles no common software; SolidWorks should make eDrawing from scratch.

No option to set defaults (e.g I want to always view as Shaded with Edges; I have to set it every time I open a file). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A simple, intuitive CAD viewer."
What do you like best about SolidWorks eDrawings?

E-Drawings will open, natively, various non-SolidWorks formats (such as Pro-E and Catia) which - in addition to the generic file formats- is very helpful. Furthermore, e-Drawings can be used with the visual assets created with SolidWorks Simulation, making analysis reviews easier for individuals that do not have access to full-blown CAD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolidWorks eDrawings?

As a simple viewer there are very few downsides to e-Drawings. It's Mark-up tools do not integrate with any Data/Revision Management tools, however. That's one downside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best 3D viewer for Solidworks"
What do you like best about SolidWorks eDrawings?

We use it pretty much every day to share our models with suppliers for reference and even internally with all stakeholders. You do not need SOLIDWORKS license to review the design and refer to the layout from Solidwork Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolidWorks eDrawings?

SOLIDWORKS e Drawings does offer a lot of options to the sender as well as the viewer. So I don't see many dislikes. But, frequently we face problems with lower versions of Software with Higher versions of files. Maybe a converter is needed as like Autodesk Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
