## What is eDrawings Pro?

eDrawings® Pro is the professional 2D and 3D CAD collaboration app for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch that can view native SolidWorks® files (part, assembly, drawings), eDrawings files and DraftSight® (DWG™, DXF™) files. You can easily view models and access configurations, drawing sheets, and exploded views for eDrawings files published from SolidWorks and all other supported CAD software.

Markup! Measure! Section!  eDrawings® Pro takes you to the next level of 2D and 3D collaboration with more functionality, including dynamic cross section views, measurements, markups & annotations and the unique ability to share it all by email! 

eDrawings includes Augmented Reality (AR). This allows you to view your 3D models in 1:1 scale into the real world. By simply activating the device’s camera, you can bring your virtual 3D designs in a real context and see them in situ, sitting on your desk or on your conference room table or even in the palm of your hand, through your iPad, Pad mini, iPhone or iPod Touch’s screen. Move around the room and see your design from any perspective.

With an intuitive user interface, eDrawings® Pro enables you to dynamically view cross sections of your models in XY, YZ, or ZX directions from both sides and easily drag the cross section plane on screen or with a convenient slider. You can also measure distances in your designs, with easy-to-use selection filters for faces, edges, vertices and holes.

With eDrawings® Pro you can create markups on your drawings, including text notes, freehand notations, dimensions, cross-section views, photos and camera snapshots. 

You can share your marked up eDrawings files with others for review and further comments. All markups with history are saved within the eDrawings file.

Features: 
* Intuitive and easy-to-use user interface 
* Visualize your 3D models in real context with Augmented Reality (AR)
* Open 3D (EASM, EPRT, SLDASM, SLDPRT, IGES, IGS, JT, STEP, STP, IFC), 2D (EDRW, SLDDRW, DWG, DXF) and associated files from any source: email attachments, cloud storage services (Dropbox™, SkyDrive®, Google Drive, YouSendIt®, and others), web and FTP sites, networks, and iTunes® File Sharing. 
* Zoom, pan, and rotate your 3D and 2D CAD data using multi-touch 
* Browse your assembly components tree, model configurations and drawing sheets
* Hide, show, or make components transparent

### 1/5 — Repeatable crashes

*2026-02-01*

eDrawings Pro still crashing. Does the latest iPad version go hand in hand with the WIN version that was released on 27 February 2024? My WINDOWS Laptop was crashing prior to installing the 27 February 2024 release. Now if you could get the iPad version stable I would be extremely grateful.

Update December 2025- just purchased a new iPad Pro with M5 processor, 256Gb. Had high hopes this app would finally work without crashing. Well it still doesn’t work. You ought to just remove it from the app stop before disappointing more people. I’d like to help you fix it if you’re interested.

Update February 2026. Still not usable. What’s ironic is I can open my 500Mb step files with the free 3D PDF Reader app from Tech Soft 3D. I also have a paid eDrawings Pro W11 that it opens with as well. Please fix this or remove it from the App Store.

**Developer response:** Hi User,
 
We are sorry for the unpleasant experience. Please share your concern at 
http://www.edrawingsviewer.com/ed/edrawings-support.htm along with some screenshot or video demonstrating the issue at your end. We will get this checked immediately.
