I know edrawings can be used as a markup tool for SW files,
but what is the typical way to use this as it related to PDMWorks?
If a user simply right clicks on a SW file and selects View/Markup, edrawings opens the file readonly. If a user marksup the file and wants to save it, the file can be saved and checked into the vault as an edrawing file, but I don't see any kind of automatic reference back to the SW file it was created from. If the user has write access to the SW file, it looks like the markup info is saved within the SW file and no edrawings file is created.
I'm just trying to understand how markup is managed in PDMWE. Thanks, Jason

Check out the SW file, use "Open With.." eDrawings.
Mark up to your heart's content
Save the file -not making an eDrawing document, saving it in SW format
Check the file back in.
Now wouldn't it be cool to see red line info in the SW app? ..but you can see it in your preview window or if you open it in eDrawings again.
