eDrawings App Reviews

works great for me. I drag my files into edrawings through iTunes,

Just downloaded to view a file. That was a quick waste of time and money. My cell shows 49GB available yet the app shuts down after saying the memory is low.

Despite repeated attempts to open a revised eDrawing on my iPad 2, the app will only open a previous eDrawing version that no longer exists anywhere. Same eDrawing model will open correctly on my iPhone 4s. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, but app will not show the latest eDrawing on my iPad. App needs work. iOS up to date on both devices. Using Dropbox to hold files.

Good use for not only bringing projects around but also a great presentation tool.

Cant open simple DWG files and constantly crashes. Not worth the money. I want a refund.

New update includes anti aliasing option but i dont see it in the app.

Tutorial would be nice but honestly this app is spot on what I needed it for. And the AR gives it that futuristic touch.

I got this app so I could review Solidworks files when I didnt have my laptop with me, but the augmented reality feature is worth the cost on its own. Its so much easier to show people the scale of a part when they can see it projected on a table right in front of them.

Cant even view dimensions, what good is it..?

First off the Augmented Reality is just amazing! Definitely worth the cost of the app on its own. The only downfall Ive seen so far is the app constantly crashes on larger files (15MB) when simply rotating or zooming. Fix that and the app will be golden.

After I paid for a app you get a Pro one out without giving me the options via an in app purchase so I have to waste the money I previous spend? Horrible.

I bought this app so I could show 3D models to the guys in the shop. Then I found the Augmented Reality. Wow, that is worth the $1.99 by itself, and more like $50. Buy this app and check out the AR and be prepared to be blown away, IMHO.

Im using an iPhone with iso 6. This app works great until you get to files over 9mb will crash as soon as you touch it. A fix would be much appreciated updated this from 1 star to 4.

I needed a SolidWorks viewer for a project Im working, and this app is truly amazing. It works better than the downloadable viewer I have from the same company on my iMac. I can hit the play button and watch my product rotate, or better yet, I can smoothly move it simply with the touch of my finger. Well done.

Great app if you dont need to take measurements. Would be nice if you could upgrade to the pro version without having to waste the first $2. Other than that it works seamlessly. Plus the AR is pretty amazing.

Crashes, crashes, then crashes again. Id say "Not quite ready for Prime Time". Even the demo AR video crashes. Glad I didnt pay for the "Pro" version. Sorry, this app is a big fat ZEEE-RO in my book. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME, MONEY, OR DEVICE MEMORY ON THIS USELESS ATTEMPT OF AN APP!!!

Opened my parts and assemblies instantly and I was able to manipulate them smoothly. The controls are well thought out. Well worth the price to be able to do just this. However, 1) The program has a video to demo the AR feature and it cannot play it without stopping and claiming you need to close all apps to free up memory. 2) You cant change the scene or add real view graphics and shadows. 3) I was unable to see the decals on my parts and it was very important for me to be able to see these.

I had high hopes to use the AR in an Educational environment to display some 3D model over and existing structure. But the Origin is not predictable with relation to the marker. The Origin is not that of the model done in SolidWorks but some point in the center of the geometry and then I would think the bottom of the model would act if it was planted on the marker but appears that is hovers somewhere above or maybe below, making it impossible to align it with real world geometry or at least I have not found a way yet. It would be great if the Origin of an assembly was the center of the marker. The marker itself has the Y axis labeled wrong in relation to SW Y axis and what you see on the screen. +X is towards the Right edge of the paper, +Z is toward Bottom edge of paper and +Y is Up off the surface of the paper. The next big problem is maybe the iPad itself not sure. Background is out of focus when it tries to find the marker making the model jump around and flicker too much when the marker is clearly visible. With every little movement the camera goes in and out of focus. Briefly I notice it is in focus then it goes out of focus. When it is completely out of focus the marker cannot be found and the model disappears. Another problem is the shadow can’t be turned off. Maybe with pro it can be. The marker may not always be the ground. There needs to be a method to calibrate perspective of the camera with the perspective of the model so it can be aligned better. If you just want to view the model itself with no AR then the program works fine. I specifically got this for the AR reason and I am finding out now I can’t do what was planned. It is crazy that Solidwork is PC based and AR functionality is only for iOS. In my opinion the AR function is still beta quality.

Ive always been impressed with this apps feature set. Originally I used this on an iPhone 5 and while the frame rates were pretty good the rendering was horrible. All fuzzy and no clear lines. With the latest update and the new iPhone 6 Plus this app has become everything I imagined it could be.

After you email the files to yourself, it shows up blank in the app. not sure why this is, but it used to work. using SW 2014, youd think it would be compatable.
