SolidWorks eDrawings 2011 for Mac supports Macintosh ® Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) or Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard). Service Pack 5.0 There are no version-specific notes for this release. We know quite a few users running SOLIDWORKS successfully on a Mac. The bad news is that it isn’t supported by SOLIDWORKS There are no versions of SOLIDWORKS that are written for Mac OS and OS X, however there are versions of eDrawings available for Mac OS. A change in Mac OS or an upgrade to SOLIDWORKS may suddenly give you major headache.
Did you know that your DraftSight drawings can be exported to the SOLIDWORKSeDrawings file format? No? Well they can! If you didn’t know that, you are probably wondering just what the eDrawing format is. Let me explain.
eDrawing is a premier 2D and 3D design communication tool for internal and external design teams. It delivers a rich collaborate tool set and eDrawings enables everyone to speed up their design processes and get to market faster! The eDrawings publisher tool in DraftSight allows you to quickly create an eDrawings version of any DWG or DXF file opened in DraftSight.
So, how do you export to eDrawings? It’s simple really. Open any drawing in DraftSight.
Next, click on the DraftSight Icon on the top left of the screen, or, if using the Classic Menu, click on File. Next click on Publish eDrawings.

If you don’t have eDrawings installed, a link will appear asking you to download and install it. If eDrawings is installed, then the eDrawings interface will then load within DraftSight.
Next, click on File, then Save As and select the location to save your new eDrawing file ( .edrw is the new file extension ).
And that’s it, that’s how to export your DraftSight drawing to the SOLIDWORKSeDrawings file format. I told you it was simple!
