EDrawings Pro for Negative User Reviews

WorthlessOnly good for looking at the provided “Sample” files. No easy way to get .sldprt or .sldasm files into the app anymore. With previous versions of the app and iOS, it was as easy as “opening in.” Now the icon for the app has disappeared from the list. You now have to save to your files in the “Files” app. eDrawings gives an error when you try to open files. Don’t waste your money on this..Version: 7.2.7

Dont buy none of the tools you pay for work they just crash the appCreases every time I select a tool like measure.Version: 8.1.6

Hugh'sJust does not work on my iPad. Could not recommend this app. I may be doing something wrong, but there is nothing to click on to open any of my files, I can see and browse samples but nothing else. Very disappointing..Version: 3.1.0

Works well but...Great features but why is there no integration with DropBox, Box, SkyDrive, iCloud..? This is supposed to be a 'pro' app after all..Version: 2.0.1

Does not workPurchased then tried to open an edrawing for client meeting, app just quits no errors, no nothing! Simply does not work!.Version: 3.1.0

How do you get files into eDrawings pro?Would be a useful program except for one thing, I can't get files into the library. It looks like perhaps they forgot to put that segment into the program. The few sample drawings are fun to play with, but I function beyond that is useless..Version: 2.0.1

Needs ImprovementThis app is in drastic need of improvement. It can be a very helpful tool, but it continuously crashes..Version: 5.0.0

Pan, zoom and rotatePlease add an option to pan with one finger. Rotate on the Oxus of what’s on screen. Every time I zoom in and rotate, it flies away.Version: 8.1.6

Won’t render a large file.Any model that I try to render over 10MB won’t load. I have an iPad Pro with 1TB of storage and 16GB of ram. It’s disappointing that I paid for Edrawing pro and I’m having these issues.Version: 30.3.24

Waste of £7.99IPhone 6 keeps crashing save your money and don't bother useless..Version: 4.0.1

Blank...Nothing...NadaUgh...paid for the app...attempted to open a couple of EASMs generated in SW2019...nothing...gray screen of nothing. Files opened fine in eDrawing Pro on my notebook (HP Zbook). Uploaded files to MS Teams project folder then to my iPhone cloud directory from which I tried opening with this app. NADA.Version: 9.1.0

Doesn't open anything.Doesn't work at all. Blank screen every time. Typical SolidWorks. And it hasn't been updated in a year!.Version: 5.0.0

When it works, it works great - but it isn't working for me.EASM files are opening fine. However, my Engineer provided >SLDASM file types, which are listed in the app types that eDrawings Pro should open, and when I try after downloading it from Dropbox the app simply crashes. A bug? Also, direct Dropbox integration would be beneficial. Many apps do this now - why not have that built into the app?.Version: 4.0.1

Does not work!Same constant memory warning popups as in the standard version with no other app running. I thought that the added functions should have been provided to the standard version without having to pay for a pro version. I expected this to work but disappointed again. Unusable in my opinion, slow, the measure function has a mind of its own and the app crashes. Do not buy!.Version: 2.0.0

MrNot to bad of an app but is not able to use AirPlay so you can not share what you are looking at. Hopefully see another update soon.Version: 2.0.0

Average resultsJust bought it, and it seems to load the more simple files fine, but the more complex ones don’t seem to want to open... which are the ones I really NEED to open..Version: 7.2.7

Don't bother use the free oneWaste of money, typical solidworks bring something out without testing it, just like the real solidworks. Stick with the free one. The mark up: does not mark diameters, only displays m, can't draw straight line. The reason I bought this was so I could change the display state it did not work, it was only a assembly with 13 parts also it came up with a memory warning, I was using an ipad mini. Unless you want to measure I would stick with the free version..Version: 2.1.0

DisappointingNot worth the time and money have to use older acad files 2004 and before and can't find how to turn layers on and off, not very useful, help documents show things that are not on the screen.Version: 3.3.1

Cannot open solidworks files !!!!!!!!!!Have tried many ways but still cannot open any solidworks files, this is a scrap.Version: 30.1.33

USELESS!Keeps crashing.! Waste of money!!!.Version: 8.1.7

App won't openI was able to view the sample drawings but when I went into iTunes and added my own the app no longer opens. I removed the files, reinstalled the app, even restored my iPad but the app just won't work. I want my money back, don't waste your money on this app. I'm ready to just switch to auto desk, at least their app works. New app update, now the app opens and works with the demo drawings but as soon as you add any of your files the app crashes immediately With the newest update, I can now open a couple of my simple parts, but anything complex and it crashes immediately. Still a 1 star review.Version: 3.0.1

Waste of money until fixed, BROKEN APP!So I tried out the free version and it seemed fine. After the first update it began to run slow, especially with anything of decent size. Even section views were extremely slow and laggy. Now when I try to open a file nothing even comes up, and for some reason it swtiches them to .eprt when viewed. This app is absolutely useless until someone actually gets it fixed. Thanks for releasing a buggy, broken and useless app Dassault..... Not deserving of a single star..Version: 2.0.0

Needs more support COME ONThis application is great in theory, but in reality is hampered by the lack of support and updates. I can’t open any large assemblies with out crashing during rendering. This thing needs to get updated to work with iOS 14 come the f’ on. How much money are they earning from Solidworks subs. Spend that money to better support this app..Version: 8.1.6

WorthlessThis app is worthless for anything but viewing your drawings like a picture nothing else works on it very unhappy I spent the money on it. I won’t ever do it again.Version: 9.4.1

Repeatable crashesHad the standard version of eDrawings and repeatable crashed. Paid again yesterday for the pro version. It’s no better and unusable. How do I receive a refund?.Version: 30.1.33

Good - but!Would get 5 stars if it wasn't for the bugs, crashes and erratic operation..Version: 2.0.0

Not ready yetCompletely unusable. Non-stop crashing with any of my parts, assemblies, or drawings. It crashes so frequently and so badly that I can not even tell what the issues are. Very bad disappointment from a major vendor. This had great potential for showing projects to supervisors, other researches, clients, etc, but the software is just not ready. It is so disfunctional , I do not even know how to tell them what needs to be improved..Version: 2.1.0

Importing modelsThis would be a great app if it worked. I imported 40 solid works models by email. About 4 of them opened. At that point, all disappeared including the sample files that came with the app. Most never showed on screen. I gave it 1 star because if you don't, you can't submit the review. It doesn't deserve the one star..Version: 2.0.0

Waste of moneyI have used the free version of this app for a while, but had a specific job that required the ability to turn the layers of a 2d drawing on or off. The free app does not allow this, but I was sure such a basic feature would be included in the £10 version. Wrong! Completely pointless purchase, and complete waste of money..Version: 6.0.3

App gives low Memory warning. ?Awesome BUT! Using a iPad 2 i imported my e-drawings into the library and my ipad it self Has plenty of space on it, but the app is warning me that the memory for the app it's self is low? Why.Version: 2.1.0

Need’s more featuresUI is a decade old. AR needs to be completely redone with AR kit. Needs more markup tools. Look, I get it, development is hard. Maybe you guys are focused on other projects. But it’s long over due this app gets a makeover..Version: 9.3.2

Ok start but needs workThe layout could be simpler and more intuitive. would greatly enjoy if there was two changes to AR feature to showcase model to others unfamiliar to CAD. 1. allow for an option that would not require card for scaling. this would be great to show model at ease with minimal flickering from searching for card/PDF print. 2. make the barcode fit a standard business card. this would make much more sense from a mobile standpoint. phone and wallet is all you would need to showcase model to scale while on the go..Version: 4.0.1

Waste of moneyCan't open any assembly's that have more than 100 parts. Errors says not enough memory close all open apps. Close all the apps and still don't work. There hasn't been an update in 1 year. So disappointing..Version: 3.2.0

Seems uselessI purchased this app a couple of years ago and it worked fine for a while. For the last year or so I have been unable to open any more solidworks files with it. The option to open with eDrawings just doesn't show up on my 6S Plus with the latest iOS. I was unsuccessful to resolve this issue despite several email communications with their customer service. It was a very useful app while it worked, I am very disappointed that it is still on sale and it doesn't work..Version: 5.0.0

Worked alright but not for SLDWRKS 2016I use this to show potential clients my current skill set during interviews. Ever since I upgraded to Solidworks 2016 functionality ceased. An upgrade has not happened since 2014 so hopefully they fix this soon..Version: 3.3.1

Great App with a few small bugsGreat to finally see this on the iPhone. Works really nice and super fast on iPhone 5 with a few bugs. When exporting an eDrawing file from Creo/Pro Engineer the explode function does not seem to work. If you save the eDrawing in its exploded state, it will open in the app as such. The exploded icon is greyed out, but if you press the home key it unexplodes the assembly. After this there is no way of exploding the file again and you have to reload the file. Not sure if this is the case when exporting/loading a native SolidWorks file. That's really my only bug....otherwise it works well as it is intended. Don't expect to much from the iPhone version though...it's really just a viewer with a few bells and whistles. I mainly use it on the fly when talking to clients/tool makers....handy to zoom in and take a screen grab and be able to email what you are talking about etc. I'm sure this app will be developed and supported really well, as SolidWorks do a great job in general..Version: 2.1.0

No DXF / DWG 3D file support.No support for viewing 3D files in Autocad DWG or DXF formats..Version: 3.0.1

Woulda/Coulda/ShouldaThis is a perfect example of what an fail vision for an app is. You can’t use it as a “File viewer” to gain access to your cloud files(google drive or iCloud) So the only way that I’ve found to use it is attempt to find the files itself first, then hope that edrawings is listed under the apps allowed to open it. But it only actually shows up 1/2 the time. If you try to open a DWG file(it claims it can do this) the app will crash and not prompt a report to be sent..Version: 3.3.1

Can't open slightly large EDrawings file (60MB)Complete waste of money - went pro because their free app was crashing. Their own EDrawings files of only 60MB size crashes this app. We have tried to work with SW support but they treat us with disdain because we only have 4 seats of SW. We have seats of Solidworks and really wanted to find a platform to share models with non-SW people like managers and sales people. SW is loosing badly and this kind of horrible support (their Mac EDrawings app is the worst!) is going to drive customers away. After this experience, we are actively moving from SW to Autodesk and Onshape. Since I am the purchasing decision maker, it will happen..Version: 4.0.1

Wont open most of my dwg filesI use my Ipad regularly in conjucntion with work I do on a personal laptop. I wanted the ability to look at and do some basic markups of dwg files on the ipad. I purchased pro version and am very disappointed..It will not open most of my dwg files which arent very big or complex.. They open fine on my laptop using draftsight64(same company)Support answered quickly , but stated there are known issues, and I could send them a file for them to check. Not what I was hoping for.. If you need something reliable... beware..Version: 3.2.0

Measure tool uselessNo real bells and whistles, fine. Streamlined interface, nice. Configurations and exploded views, sweet! But the reason I dropped 10 bucks on an app? The measure tool, to allow useful collaboration. Simple right? How can you screw up the measure tool? Oh, turns out it's easy. ITS TOO SMALL TO READ! Brilliant Dassault Systemes! You always seem to disappoint by botching straightforward essential functionality. Here's a tip: There's a forest before the trees..Version: 3.3.1

The App needs to improveThe App needs to improve. When opening a big STP file, 60M around, it sticks in Rendering, and then crashes..Version: 30.0.5019

CrashesMinor bug, App crashes when opening SLDDRW.Version: 4.0.0

Crashed first timeI got this to share an asembly with others. A modest size assy with some assembly level cuts. The app crashes every time I try to open the assy. Had to make an EASM - VERY disappointed! Also VERY disappointed with AR. What do you need a stupid marker for!!.Version: 6.0.3

IPad - how do you use it?I purchased this app for the iPad and cant figure out how to open a file. There is absolutely NO context sensitive help or any help menu available. For the record, i am no beginner here, ive been a solidworks user since 1997 and know this program and its edrawings viewer very well but just no way of knowing how it works. Don't bother buying it, just save yourself the frustration and wait till you are at your desktop..Version: 2.1.0

It was once a nice product, now it's terrible.They should pull it off the App Store if they are not going to update it. Oftentimes it doesn't even open models for simply viewing anymore. Very disappointing since it was once a nice app as I said..Version: 3.3.1

Great Potential - Not quite there yetThis app has come in handy on several occasions when showing models to clients and for meetings. It’s a bit cumbersome and could certainly use Apple Pencil support as well as a better AR tool. Unfortunately, the UI needs a lot of work, configurations don’t load well, surface textures don’t appear, and up until last month, it no longer recognizes my files since it only supports up to 2019 and I’m already at 2020. Hopefully SolidWorks will throw some more support behind this because it does come in handy at times. Would be nice if you could export drawings as PDF’s, models as .STP or .XT, use Apple’s AR kit to show case models for customers (and include texture support), and maybe, just maybe, since we’re already paying customers, include a version that would allow for model creation and not just be a viewer. My iPad Pro handles the models and assemblies just fine and the hardware is only getting better..Version: 7.2.7

Won’t open larger filesCrashes whenever trying to open .sldasm files larger then 10 megabytes in size. Also can not explode drawings..Version: 8.1.6

WasteAs an avid solidworks user I was excited to buy this app and try it. However, The program crashes or locks up constantly. Don't waste your money. I would like to have my money back until this app actually works. Good idea, bad follow through!.Version: 3.0.1

Don't buy yetWith all the bugs in the previous version, I was hoping this 'pro' version would iron some of them out. First EASM I attempt to open gives me a memory error and the App then crashes. This is with no other Apps running and a fresh iPad restart. Have never expected much quality from Dassault, but a working App is bare minimum. They should take a page out of Autodesk's book. Recommend not to buy this App until it becomes usable..Version: 2.0.0

No files found, and no instructionsI don't know how well it works because it doesn't find my files I have sent to my emails - even though I've saved those to several places including iCloud....Version: 4.0.1

Can't open your own filesI am disappointed because this was a waste of time and money. I rarely purchase apps and thought this one would be worth buying. I bought this about a week ago. Too bad there were no reviews yet for this version at the time. I emailed them about the issue on November 30th and haven't received any response yet. Their non pro app isn't even free so there's no way to try it before buying the pro version. I really hope they fix this soon cause I was really looking forward to using this..Version: 5.0.0

File Compatibility IssuesOnly opens about 50% of the files I try to load. SLDPRT, SLDASM, EASM. For $10, this app doesn't deliver on the “professional” promise as often need to move to my laptop to actually show the files. The augmented reality needing a marker is not useful too, but I really don’t use that feature anyway..Version: 6.1.0

I’ve yet to get this to work.IPad Pro... it crashes every time. It’s a shame because I use pc based E drawings and solidworks and would love the option to view files on my iPad.. Paid for this too.. money wasted...Version: 6.1.0

Good but needs a lot of attention!I paid full price for the pro version as I really hope that Solidworks will reward its premium users with really attentive support and invaluable updates. This app, I hope, is realised by them as in its infancy and will go from strength to strength as updates come out. As is the app does what it needs to do, albeit somewhat buggy. The AR is an amazing tool when you come up with a good use for it and the markups are fine but again both need a lot of care to make them useful and big performance enhancements especially for AR. I'd recommend now but for the future I'd like to see Solidworks add some additional features for the mobile end if eDrawings that make it an incredible presentation tool as well as just a viewer. My clients have loved seeing their products in AR so far but let's see if we can go a step further..Version: 3.0.1
