Abstract: The EDRW file format, proprietary to Dassault Systèmes’ SolidWorks eDrawings application, is widely used for design collaboration due to its lightweight, securable, and viewable nature. However, its limitation lies in its lack of native editability. In contrast, the DWG format (Autodesk’s Drawing) is the industry standard for 2D and 3D CAD interoperability. This paper examines the technical challenges, conversion methodologies, fidelity outcomes, and optimal workflows for converting EDRW files to DWG format. It concludes that while direct conversion is constrained by format philosophy, a multi-path strategy involving intermediate export and re-engineering yields the highest practical utility. 1. Introduction The engineering design lifecycle demands both secure distribution (eDrawings) and collaborative editability (DWG). The EDRW format, derived from SolidWorks native files (SLDDRW), is intentionally stripped of parametric history and sometimes exact geometry to protect intellectual property. Converting EDRW to DWG is not a trivial file renaming but a translation of a published, locked view into an editable, open-standard drawing . This paper addresses whether high-fidelity conversion is possible, and under what conditions. 2. Format Architecture: Why EDRW is Not DWG | Feature | EDRW | DWG | |---------|------|-----| | Purpose | Viewing, markup, lightweight collaboration | Full editing, dimensioning, layering, plotting | | Geometry storage | Tessellated (mesh) or simplified BREP | Precise NURBS, vector, and solid model definitions | | Parametric data | None | Optional (dynamic blocks, constraints) | | Layer structure | Basic or flattened | Fully customizable, named layers | | Security | Built-in (expiration, disable measure) | None inherent |
An EDRW file may contain exact 2D vector data if exported from SolidWorks with “High Quality” settings. Otherwise, it contains only a lightweight mesh view. DWG expects exact vectors. The conversion’s success hinges entirely on how the EDRW was generated. 3. Conversion Methodologies Three primary methods exist, each with distinct trade-offs.

Freelancers, small businesses, editors, journalists...my FCP tools are designed for anyone and everyone looking to get the most out of their video editing without breaking the bank.
Not at all. My plugins are all built for Final Cut Pro with quick and easy controls. Using my resource pages and video tutorials, you'll be able to get to work in under 7 minutes, and just a minute if you've already installed FxFactory.
My plugins are faster than a bald eagle flying an F-16. They're also built to leave the tiniest footprint possible using FCPX's own plugin structure. Plus, all of my plugins all render in under 5 seconds.
All Stupid Raisins plugins are unlimited use from now until the end of time.
I've been making FCP plugins for a while now to accomplish the most sought-after goals in FCP video editing, including:
And with so much customization available, our plugins really have all you need to give each project a fresh look.
These plugins start at $49, and that's not even including the free tools I have available. I also have free, full-featured trials available for all paid plugins, meaning you'll never have to take a risk with any of my products.
Even better, I offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If Stupid Raisins doesn't elevate your FCP editing to next level, just let us know and I'll give you a full refund.
To re-download your products just log into FxFactory with the same username and password you used to buy the plugins.
That's me! I'm Dylan Higginbotham, and creating Final Cut Pro plugins is a blast. Lightning round: Five kids. Fast to laugh. Basketball is life (I can almost touch the net now).
