File Easm
They are eDrawings Assembly files, which are used to contain 2D / 3D drawings; created with CAD programs. This file is a representation of the project. It is not the actual project or design, because it stores parts of the project in compressed XML format.
What is the use of these types of files? One reason is to prevent the recipient or customer from accessing the design data or actually changing the design. Its purpose is for you to visualize it. One of the advantages is that, having the XML data compressed, it becomes a ideal format for sending CAD drawings over the Internet. It makes it easy to download it.
