eDrawings for Mac OS X version 10.4 "tiger" covers the gap between product design and graphics operations

solidworks corporation has expanded its software eDrawings, which allows users to review and discuss 3D models via email, to make it compatible with Apple Mac OS X version 10.4 "tiger". eDrawings for Mac makes eDrawings the global standard of communication of designs for all those who work in the development of products, including engineers from products, graphics, professional artists of the marketing and sales managers.

"eDrawings connects working groups which were previously communicated through different technologies," said Austin O'Malley, Vice President of development of SolidWorks products. "Almost at every moment, someone had to create a design, which ran the risk of producing costly mistakes and devote more time to the development cycle." "eDrawings for Mac OS X is the latest example of the continued commitment of SolidWorks to facilitate the communication of designs and the collaboration of everyone, regardless of the operating system or platform for DAC using."

"The legendary power and stability of Mac OS X, in combination with hundreds of new innovative features such as compatibility with OpenGL and concentrated light, turn Tiger into a platform of 2D and 3D graphics for design professionals", said Ron Okamoto, Vice President of global development of Apple relations. "We pleased to see how eDrawings uses many of the advanced functions of Tiger to improve collaboration and help us make better products to market more quickly."

Hundreds of thousands of engineers around the world rely on the eDrawings software to share 3D models with members of your team, clients and partners. Works in popular CAD software platforms, including SolidWorks, AutoCAD, CATIA, Autodesk Inventor, Pro/Engineer, Solid Edge and Unigraphics / NX. In addition, Mac users can read native DWG and DXF files with eDrawings software. eDrawings for Mac OS X covers the lack of communication between the teams of product design and graphics teams that use Mac to create conceptual designs, marketing materials, instructions of products, etc. Eliminate potential errors and reduces the time that graphic designers spend to create images from scratch because the designs had been made in a different operating system.

eDrawings for Mac will allow that companies such as Litelab Corp., manufacturer of specialized lighting accessories, faster market their products to offer to the teams of graphic design products 3D models in order to develop effective sales tools. "If we are going to make a sales presentation in a large Museum, must offer a combination of vivid images and compelling text," said Kyle Pazian, director of product and graphic Litelab. "However, the task that should normally be the graphic design team to produce effective presentations in a short space of time is frustrating because you have to do part of the same work already carried out with a different operating system." "This version of eDrawings Tiger will ensure that everyone is at the same level, so that we can develop essential graphics more quickly and effectively, and with a little luck, the deal."

eDrawings for Mac OS X is free for users who want to generate files of design that recipients can rotate and view from any angle with eDrawings Viewer. Engineers can download eDrawings for Mac in the SolidWorks web site.

eDrawings for Mac OS X Viewer is free. A license of eDrawings Professional for Mac OS X can be purchased for about 800 euros (995 USD).
