The EDRW file extension refers to a CAD drawing format used with SolidWorks eDrawings. It stores 2D designs in a view-only format. To open an EDRW file on your computer, you typically need to have SolidWorks eDrawings Viewer or similar software installed. If you do not have the right software, you may get an error saying the file cannot be opened. To fix this, download and install SolidWorks eDrawings Viewer. This free viewer application supports opening and viewing EDRW files.
If the EDRW file still does not open after installing the viewer, you can try associating the EDRW extension with SolidWorks eDrawings Viewer in Windows. This makes Windows open EDRW files with that program automatically.
You can also convert EDRW files to more common formats like JPG images. This allows for easier viewing and sharing. Many free file conversion tools are available to do this.
In summary, EDRW files store CAD drawings from SolidWorks. To open them you need SolidWorks eDrawings Viewer or similar software. If you have issues opening EDRW files, installing this viewer application or associating the EDRW extension with it in Windows should resolve the problem. Converting to JPG is another option.
