SOLIDWORKS Technical Communication
SOLIDWORKS® Technical Communications solutions enable you to create product communications early in the design process, simplify its creation, keep it updated, and deliver it on time. This easy-to-use software leverages your existing design data so you can work faster and more efficiently.
SOLIDWORKS Technical Communications software can help you clearly present even the most complex data for technical and user documentation, sales materials and presentations, and inspection and manufacturing
SOLIDWORKS Composer
Repurpose your 3D engineering models for creating graphical content to explain processes and procedures in technical communications, such as manufacturing assembly instructions, product manuals, installation instructions, service manuals, training guides, marketing brochures, and sales bidding kits.
SOLIDWORKS Composer Player
Interact with 3D content using SOLIDWORKS Composer Player Professional.
It includes all the features of the SOLIDWORKS Composer Player, but also enables you to interrogate a model, adjust the viewing angle, and rotate/pan/zoom in real time.
SOLIDWORKS Composer Sync
SOLIDWORKS Composer Sync creates a batch conversion process from 3D CAD and other 3D formats into SOLIDWORKS Composer format.
Changes in product data or manufacturing information can be automatically updated to SOLIDWORKS Composer deliverables. You can save batch job settings to XML for future use.

|
Update Visual Content
Update content with the latest design changes (geometry, Bill of Materials (BOM) tree, metadata,and others.) |
|||
|
Faster Content Development
Work directly from 3D CAD data and create 2D and 3D graphical content in multiple formats, such as raster images (JPG, BMP, TIF, PNG); vector images (SVG, EPS, SVGZ, CGM); videos (AVI); and 3D interactive animations (3D PDF, HTML, SMG); executable package, (ActiveX control). Add annotations (auto balloons, BOM table, arrows, and detail views). Change appearances (hide/show, transparency, and colors). |
|||
|
Document Processes
Create step by step step-by-step procedures showing incremental components. |
|||
|
Create Animations
Create interactive storyboards by adding links to relevant views. Animate appearances and custom properties. Create keyframe animation by drag-and-drop views on timeline. Create interactive animations with markers and filter timeline keys for finer control. |
|||
|
Customise BOMs
Create a manufacturing BOM independent of an engineering BOM. Customize parts lists and properties for each view. |
|||
|
Automate Processes
Automate batch mode import of 3D files and publishing content. Automate document creation within existing workflow systems. Automate document translation by using custom XML programming. |
|||
|
Viewing Customization
View step-by-step interactive instructions with no additional user interface required. Rotate, zoom, animate, measure, view BOM, section (rights-controlled by author). Create custom applications to distribute internally or through a website. |
|||
|
Multiple Output Formats
Provide multiple formats for 2D output (such asBMP, PNG, EPS) and animation (such as AVI). |
|||
|
Keep All Product Information Current
Keep all graphical content and technical communication deliverables current. |
|||
|
Automatically Update Product Information
Minimize the time it takes to update graphical assets and critical design information. Automatically update metadata, geometry, BOM, and other manufacturing information. |
