What is an EDRW file?

EDRW files mostly belong to eDrawings by Dassault Systèmes. An EDRW file is a 2D or 3D technical drawing created with eDrawings computer-aided design and collaboration software. It is the default format for storing and exchanging CAD data in eDrawings. Tools such as eDrawings Viewer and SolidWorks provide native support for EDRW files while AutoCAD, SketchUp, and CATIA require eDrawings plugin to create or open drawings saved in EDRW format.

How to open an EDRW file

You need a suitable software like eDrawings to open an EDRW file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your EDRW file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a EDRW file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

How to solve problems with EDRW files

  • Associate the EDRW file extension with the correct application.
  • Update your software that should actually open drawings. Because only the current version supports the latest EDRW file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the Dassault Systèmes manufacturer website after an available eDrawings update.
  • To make sure that your EDRW file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
