Adding the additional Section, Exploded and Detailed Views to the SolidWorks Drawing In the end that was just a good excuse to go back and see for myself. UPDATE: After I posted this last night I received some feed back and advice on rotating other views. Might just have to start using EDRW! A drawing and model all in one. To return to the drawing view, it is, as per the Desktop version select the Home icon Whilst its can’t be manually rotated as in the Desktop version it does have a fair level of control. It can then be Zoomed into and out of, as well as the ability to Pan. Tapping either the model or the Pause/ Play icon stops the model. The model opens and automatically starts to rotate and runs through the various views (Front, side, end, Isometric) Select a drawing view but there is no rotate icon …………… take a guess and try the Play icon! Now that I know that’s what can happen in the desktop version, what about the question of the mobile version? Send the eDrawings EDRW to my Nexus 7 (Android) via Dropbox (Select the model, Left Mouse Button, Hold and rotate) To return to a drawing view select Home. Select a drawing view and the rotate icon changes from greyed out to selectable. Savings it as a eDrawings EDRW and then opening in eDrawings (I had the Logitech Speaker which I downloaded from Charles Culp – SWtuts (SolidWorks Tutorials) the other day in readiness for some computer Benchmarking – buts that’s another story) By the the logo it looks as if it’s a Rob Rodriguez – Axis Cad Solutions model! That meant first creating a SolidWorks Drawing. The first thing I had to do was see how (and what it did) to rotate a view in eDrawings.
It was in regards to rotating a view (model) in a eDrawings Mobile version!
So I shouldn’t have been too supprised, when I didn’t know, after I read that you could rotate a model from a eDrawings EDRW! Who would have thought that! The question was posted on the SolidWorks Forum. My most common use is when I need a reference to review something in the workshop! Normally it’s a cabinet when I need to see why we haven’t put something together correctly! Even rarer would be for me to use (or Save a drawing as) EDRW drawings!
PRINTING FROM EDRAWINGS 2015 ANDROID
I have both iOS (iPhone) and Android (Nexus 7) versions. To be honest I can’t recall the last time I would have used it at work. I don’t use the desktop version of eDrawings all that much.
