What is an EASMX file?

The .EASMX (eDrawings Assembly XPS) file extension is associated with eDrawings, a software application primarily used for viewing, sharing, and collaborating on 2D and 3D CAD models. The EASMX format specifically pertains to assemblies created within the eDrawings environment, allowing users to visualize complex assemblies with multiple components.

More Information.

The .EASMX format was first introduced alongside the eDrawings software to address the need for a lightweight, easily shareable format for distributing CAD assemblies. It aimed to provide a means for users to view and analyze complex assemblies without requiring access to the original CAD software or the CAD model files.

Origin Of This File.

The .EASMX file format was developed by SolidWorks Corporation, a subsidiary of Dassault Systèmes, as part of their eDrawings software suite. It was introduced to facilitate efficient communication and collaboration among engineers, designers, and other stakeholders involved in the product development lifecycle.

File Structure Technical Specification.

The .EASMX file is based on the XML Paper Specification (XPS) format, which is a fixed document format similar to PDF but based on XML rather than PostScript. It contains structured data representing the assembly hierarchy, geometry, metadata, and visualization information necessary to accurately render the assembly in the eDrawings viewer.

How to Convert the File?

indows:

Open the .EASMX file in the eDrawings viewer.
In the eDrawings application, navigate to “File” > “Save As” and choose the desired file format for conversion (e.g., eDrawings (*.eprt, *.easm, *.edrw), STL, STEP, IGES).
Follow the prompts to specify the file name, location, and any additional options.
Click “Save” to convert and save the file in the selected format.

Linux:

Install Wine or another compatibility layer on your Linux system.
Download and install the Windows version of eDrawings using Wine.
Open the .EASMX file in the eDrawings viewer.
Follow the same steps as described for Windows to save the file in the desired format.

macOS:

Open the .EASMX file in the eDrawings viewer for macOS.
Navigate to “File” > “Save As” and select the desired output format.
Proceed with saving the file following the same steps as on Windows.

Android:

Install the eDrawings app from the Google Play Store on your Android device.
Open the .EASMX file in the eDrawings app.
Depending on the app’s capabilities, you may have options to export or convert the file to other formats directly within the app interface.

iOS:

Download and install the eDrawings app from the App Store on your iOS device.
Open the .EASMX file in the eDrawings app.
Similar to the Android version, you may find options within the app to export or convert the file to alternative formats.

Others:

For other platforms or scenarios, you may explore online conversion services or third-party software solutions that support the conversion of .EASMX files to different formats.
Be cautious when using third-party tools and ensure they are from reputable sources to avoid potential security risks or data loss.

Advantages And Disadvantages.

Advantages:

Lightweight: EASMX files are typically smaller in size compared to native CAD files, making them easier to share via email or other file-sharing platforms.
Cross-platform compatibility: eDrawings viewers are available for various platforms, allowing users to view .EASMX files on Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS, and other operating systems.
Interactive viewing: Users can interact with the assembly, manipulate individual components, hide or show parts, and take measurements within the eDrawings viewer.

Disadvantages:

Limited editing capabilities: While eDrawings allows for basic interaction with the assembly, it does not provide the extensive editing features available in the original CAD software.
Dependency on eDrawings software: Viewing and interacting with .EASMX files require the installation of the eDrawings viewer, which may not be available on all systems.
