File extension .EDRW

File description

.EDRW is a type eDrawings’ contraction that maintains engineering data for designing. The format has been presented by Solid Works, who also introduced Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD. Users can derive a lot of benefits from .EDRW file extension as it has the ability to store markups, annotations and revisions related to engineering design. It keeps the record of entire engineering design project so that users can look at them whenever they want. The best part of .EDRW file extension is that stored data is available in a more compact layout as compared to other formats.

Users can open .EDRW file through different programs like some quality existing engineering software in the computer. Solid Edge, Auto CAD and Inventor also help to open it easily. Though, if you are not a qualified engineer and do not have to use .EDRW file type frequently, then eDrawings Viewer by Solid Works will be the best choice.

Description of the problem

If you have on your computer a .EDRW file that you cannot open, you are in exactly the same situation as thousands of other people who have similar problems with this or any other unknown file.

There may be several reasons why you cannot open the file with .EDRW extension. Directly on this website you can find a solution of the most common problem with the .EDRW file – that you do not have on your computer the appropriate program to open the file.

Solution

From the list below, select the appropriate program, install it and double click on the icon of a file that did not want to open - the problem with the .EDRW file extension should be solved. However, if this does not happen, go back to the website to learn about other possible causes of the error, which have been described at the bottom of the website.

Other possible reasons why your .EDRW file does not want to open

In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .EDRW file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:

1. Incorrect version of the installed application

A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .EDRW file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .EDRW file, so download the update and check again.

2. Incorrect .EDRW file association with the program

If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:

Right-click the .EDRW file
Go to the "Open with" - then "Choose default program ..."
Locate the appropriate application
Click "OK"

3. The file is corrupt

It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
