So I have saved my prints created in Solidworks 2015 as edrawings and emailed them to one of our shop guys who has installed edrawings 2016 on his desktop. He can view and use the measuring feature through the email attachment, but when he saves it to his hard drive the measuring tool is no longer available. When I saved them I made sure that okay to measure was selected. Any ideas??
I'm thinking the created document author has that control, beyond that it's like you say. If you save the file as an exe file, does the measure stay, you would have two copies of the same eDrawing. To save as an exe, you first need to save it as a eDrawing then open and re-save, additional work, but could get you where you want.
Could he download to the download folder and then use cut & paste rather then save as?
