Publishing review-enabled eDrawings is like embedding a markup pen in your document. Anyone who receives review-enabled eDrawings, can markup and measure it with the free eDrawings Viewer, without having to purchase eDrawings Professional for CATIA V5 themselves. In addition, eDrawings Professional includes advanced viewing capabilities such as dynamic component translation, and dynamic cross sectioning. eDrawings Professional includes the Publisher add-in for CATIA V5 and AutoCAD.

The eDrawings Viewer can not open CATIA V5 files directly. The software consists of a CATIA V5 publisher and the eDrawings viewer. The publisher is an add-on on CATIA V5. After installing the software, click on Tools->eDrawings->Publish menu-item in CATIA V5 to publish the opened CATIA V5 model to eDrawings.
