Discography
 in the CIM competition included independent industry experts, international analysts and consultants, and the editors of Manufacturing Computer Solutions magazine. The panel chose eDrawings 2.0 because it addresses an industry need to streamline the design review process. eDrawings lets engineers and design reviewers easily send, view and edit three-dimensional computer-aided designs computer-aided design (CAD) or computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), form of automation that helps designers prepare drawings, specifications, parts lists, and other design-related elements using special graphics- and calculations-intensive  (3D CAD) without having to purchase new software. eDrawings helps manufacturers speed their products to market by eliminating the time and costs of relying on fax machines and snail mail Mail sent via a country's government-regulated postal system.

 for design collaboration.

"So many engineers still rely on the fax machine and snail mail to pass around CAD designs for review and approval," said Brian Tinham, editor of Manufacturing Computer Solutions and a CIM 2001 judge. "eDrawings simplifies engineers' jobs by allowing them to send viewer-enabled 3D CAD drawings that recipients need only click open to edit. That helps manufacturers get their products to market faster."

"eDrawings is a `must-have' application," said Simon Booker, SolidWorks' sales and marketing director for the U.K. and Ireland. "We are pleased that the judges of the CIM 2001 show agree that it is unique in delivering a practical, low cost tool for engineers to practice collaborative engineering via the Internet. More than 75 percent of SolidWorks' users now rely on eDrawings to communicate their designs."
