I'm saving a sldasm file as an eDrawing, and want to make the measure command is active so that other parties
with eDrawings can use it. When saving, I go into options, and make sure the "Okay to measure the eDrawings file"
is checked. However, when opening the file in eDrawings, the measure command is not active. I am using the standard
version of solidworks. Might this be the reason, and only professional and premium allow the use of the measure
command when saving as an eDrawing file?
You need to be running SolidWorks Professional or higher to get this functionality in EDrawings. If you are using Standard Solidworks you need to upgrade to a Professional OR buy EDrawings Professional.
Thank you, Peter.
The situation as you can see from all the Forum talk is not as simple as solidworks state. My company generates files elsewhere with measure enabled. My colleague and I both have eDrawings Pro (not the same exact version as he installed a couple of years ago), but he can take measurements from a file and I cannot take measurements from the exact same file. It drives me crazy that no one cares about this.
I am pretty sure that the standard edrawings should be able to measure any edrawings file that has been created with the "measuring" ability truned on when it is created.
