This free viewer has been around for about twenty years and is well-known among 3D designers. It allows for easy and efficient sharing of design data with internal and external colleagues, clients, suppliers, etc. (in EDWG format or via an executable file). eDrawings offers a rich set of features, such as animation, 2D and 3D measurement, section creation, augmented and virtual reality (AR\/VR), and much more.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the 3DEXPERIENCE 3D Viewer?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 3DEXPERIENCE visualizer is a web application that allows you to view and interact with 3D and 2D models previously hosted on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3ds.com\/support\/download\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3DEXPERIENCE platform<\/a>. It offers navigation, annotation, filtering, comparison, simulation, and real-time collaboration features. The 3DEXPERIENCE viewer is compatible with many CAD file formats, such as <a href=\"\/en\/catia\/\">CATIA<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ohmycad.com\/en\/solidworks\/\">SOLIDWORKS<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/plm.sw.siemens.com\/fr-FR\/nx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NX<\/a>, And so on.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">eDrawings VS 3DEXPERIENCE<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main difference between eDrawings and the 3DEXPERIENCE viewer is that <strong>eDrawing is software to install on a computer<\/strong>(On PREMISE) or a mobile device, while the viewer <strong>3DEXPERIENCE is a web application<\/strong> accessible from a browser (Cloud SAAS Solution). eDrawings therefore requires design files to be available locally or on a shared network, while the 3DEXPERIENCE viewer allows access to 3D models stored in the cloud. eDrawings also offers features specific to certain file formats, such as SOLIDWORKS configurations or animations, while the 3DEXPERIENCE viewer offers a more uniform experience regardless of the file format.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To install eDrawings, you need administrator rights on your workstation. A simple web access is required to access 3DEXPERIENCE.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dassault Syst\u00e8mes CLOUD storage security ensures the highest level of protection for your data. It is commonly accepted that sharing data from 3DEXPERIENCE is more secure than sending an e-drawing file (EDWG, EASM, EPRT) via email or another platform. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3ds.com\/fr\/cloud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OUTSCALE, a Dassault Syst\u00e8mes subsidiary, is SECNUMCLOUD certified.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Edrawings is in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solidworks.com\/fr\/support\/free-downloads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Free download from the SOLIDWORKS website.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is available with a monthly subscription.
