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.

EDRW file extension format:

Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature).
