Course Highlights & Updates
The Introduction to eDrawings course has been updated to reflect recent changes to the eDrawings viewer and its role in design reviews. The lessons focus on core viewer tasks such as navigating models and drawings, applying markups and measurements, and sharing review feedback, making these workflows accessible to users involved in design reviews, presentations, or approvals without requiring full CAD authoring tools.
Key highlights include:
- A more accessible viewer interface for navigating between 2D drawings, parts, and assemblies
- Expanded markup, measurement, and sectioning tools used to support design review feedback
- Export options such as HTML and ZIP files for sharing interactive models in a web browser
- Support for reviewing designs on mobile devices and in immersive AR/VR environments
- Workflows for sharing files with embedded comments and markups with collaborators who do not use SOLIDWORKS

Who Is This Course For?
This course is intended for users who need to review and discuss CAD data without creating or modifying geometry. It is well suited for professionals involved in design feedback and approvals, students or early-career engineers learning review workflows, and project managers coordinating design discussions across teams.
No prior SOLIDWORKS experience is required, though basic familiarity with CAD concepts can be helpful. The course focuses on viewing, reviewing, and communicating design intent using eDrawings rather than on CAD authoring tasks.
How Can You Use These Tools?
eDrawings supports a range of common design review activities, including:
- Opening and inspecting CAD files without SOLIDWORKS
- Communicating feedback through comments, markups, and measurements
- Sharing interactive models with clients or other stakeholders
- Presenting designs on mobile devices or in immersive VR environments
- Reviewing and approving designs across teams or organizations
