eDrawings Pro Suite 2025

eDrawings Pro Suite 2025

eDrawings Pro Suite 2025 is the premium professional communication tool for CAD data, developed by Dassault Systèmes. It goes far beyond a simple viewer, enabling anyone in the product development ecosystem to open, interrogate, measure, and mark up 3D models and 2D drawings with full fidelity. The “Pro Suite” includes the desktop application, mobile apps, and advanced publishing features, breaking down communication barriers between design teams and non-CAD users.

It acts as the universal translator for CAD data, supporting native files from SOLIDWORKS, CATIA, Creo, NX, Inventor, and more, facilitating secure design reviews, manufacturing instructions, and sales presentations.

Key Features & Capabilities

eDrawings Pro Suite 2025 transforms static CAD files into interactive, communicative documents.

Core Viewing & Interrogation Tools:

1. Universal CAD File Support:
· Native & Neutral Formats: Opens over 30 major 2D & 3D formats, including SOLIDWORKS, CATIA V5/V6, AutoCAD DWG/DXF, Inventor, Creo, NX, JT, STEP, IGES, and PDF.
· High-Fidelity Visualization: Maintains colors, textures, and assembly structures exactly as the original author intended.

2. Advanced Pro-Only Features:
· Precise Measurement: Perform accurate linear, angular, radial, and edge-to-edge measurements on 3D models and 2D drawings.
· Section Viewing: Dynamically cut through an assembly with a plane to view internal components, with depth control and cap options.
· Animation & Exploded Views: Play back assembly animations and exploded views created in the native CAD system.
· Compare Documents: Visually highlight geometric differences between two versions of a part or assembly (a critical Pro feature).
3. Collaboration & Markup:
· 3D Markup & Annotations: Add persistent notes, dimensions, shapes, and clouds directly onto the 3D model or 2D drawing.
· eDrawings Publishing (Pro Feature): Create secure, compact .eprt, .easm, and .edrw files that can be viewed with the free eDrawings Viewer, but require eDrawings Pro to author. You can password-protect these files and control printing/saving permissions.

4. Cross-Platform Accessibility:
· Desktop (Windows/macOS): Full Pro capabilities.
· Mobile & VR: Free companion apps for iOS and Android allow viewing and lightweight markup on the go. eDrawings VR enables immersive design reviews.

What’s New in the 2025 Release:

· Enhanced Performance: Faster load times for large assemblies and improved graphics handling.
· Improved User Interface: Streamlined ribbon and toolbar for easier access to Pro tools.
· Advanced Measurement Enhancements: More intuitive selection and display of measurement data.
· Stronger SOLIDWORKS & 3DEXPERIENCE Integration: Smoother workflows for users within the Dassault ecosystem.
· Updated File Format Support: Support for the latest versions of native CAD software formats.

🖥️ System Requirements

eDrawings Pro is designed to run on a wide range of systems. At a minimum, you need Windows 10/11 (64-bit) or macOS 12 (Monterey) or later, an Intel/AMD 64-bit or Apple Silicon processor, 8 GB of RAM, a DirectX 11 (Windows) or Metal (macOS) compatible graphics card with 2 GB VRAM, about 2 GB of free disk space, and a display with a resolution of at least 1366×768 (Windows) or 1440×900 (macOS)**.

For professional use with large assemblies, 16 GB of RAM or more is strongly recommended, along with a more powerful dedicated graphics card (4GB+ VRAM), a fast SSD for storage, and a high-resolution monitor (1920×1080 or higher) for optimal clarity and performance.
