The EDRW ( .EDRW) file format is a 3D formatted file used by SolidWorks software for creating and editing 3-dimensional objects. EDRW files are particularly useful for sharing 3D designs over the Internet as they contain information about both the model's geometry and its appearance. These files are compressed for smaller size, making them smaller than CAD drawings or design models.
EDRW File Information
EDRW files can store two distinct types of data: the geometry of a 3D model, which is managed by a mathematical mesh, and the color, material, and other features that define the model's appearance. This type of file is particularly versatile, allowing users to scale their graphics up or down without losing clarity. EDRWs can be used with eDrawings, a viewer program that is supplied with SolidWorks, as well as with certain Windchill-based viewers; some viewers are available online for free. Other file formats commonly used for viewing 3D models include .STL, .3DS, .DGF, .DXF, and .DWG.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .EDRW) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .EDRW extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .EDRW file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .EDRW extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .EDRW extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .EDRW file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .EDRW file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .EDRW file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .EDRW file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .EDRW file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
