Solidworks Viewer - How EDrawings and Drawing Editor help you

EDrawings is the solidworks viewer provided free from solidworks website. The immediate advantage of this is that your customers can view your solidworks files without needing to buy the software. This is can be very helpful in winning the customer over to your design. If they have the ability to manipulate, redline and discuss the pro's and cons of your design its more likely its acceptance can speeded up and your design intent communicated more clearly.

Letting your customer use edrawings and viewing your model and drawings directly is also easier than having to prepare power point presentations and reports to describe the model and its benefits. An added benefit is that the customer can circulate the edrawings model inside their organization, making their internal communication easier. The edrawings model cannot be modified so your design is secure from unauthorized modification. The edrawing file size format is small, making it useful as a maintenance manual tool in the field.

The redlining and markup capabilities in edrawings are helpful in ensuring that modifications and changes are recorded and attended to. Problems can be identified quickly by simply pointing an arrow to an area on the model and including a note about the difficulty. Much clearer than a handwritten note faxed from the shop or an email with photographs.

  • The F-35, Joint strike search and rescue fighter
    The recent 16 billion dollar purchase of F-35 stealth fighters is a triumph in buying American . While Canada needs more search and rescue planes to patrol the oceans the Canadian government decides to purchase stealth fighters. One wonders what kind of a changing role the Canadian air force has up its sleeve for these high tech seek and destroy weapons.

    Perhaps the stealth and speed will allow our pilots to sneak up on sailors before they even get shipwrecked. The pilot can launch missiles at the pesky shoals or reefs blowing them up, preventing any marine disaster from ever happening.

    Canadian Pilots flying the joint strike fighter solo over the arctic are assured that the fighters engine is more “robust” and unlikely to fail. Much like the Titanic was unsinkable. It will be cold comfort to a our pilots, reflecting on their emergency manual which said “relax, your jet engine is robust” as they eject in 50 below temperature.

    Worse, the purchase of joint strike fighters protect American jobs, not Canadian ones, as the purchase of Bombardier search and rescue planes would have. Unfortunately when the Pentagon barks, we have to pay attention. This was true in the days of the Avro Arrow and now again with the F-35 joint strike fighter.
