Review/Measure-Enabled Files

Review-enabled files make the following SolidWorks eDrawings Professional tools available:

• All markup tools

• Cross Section

• Move Component (assemblies or assembly drawings only)

• Stamp

Measure-enabled files allow you to make exact measurements of models with Measure .

You can disable measurement when you first create an eDrawings file. You cannot change this status once an eDrawings file is created; you must republish it.

Icons in the status bar indicate the review and measurement status of files:

Review-enabled

Not review-enabled

Measure-enabled

Measure disabled

These icons are only file status indicators and do not change the status.

Enabled Files

[1] Review is enabled if the file was created with SolidWorks eDrawings Professional.

[2] Measure is enabled if the file was created with SolidWorks eDrawings Professional and Measure was enabled.

[3] Measure is enabled if the originator specified Measure enabled.
