Minimize illustration production costs when you reuse 3D CAD data. Since, Publisher3D is as easy to install and use as Office 2007 and does not require a seat of expensive CAD software, your illustrator's will create illustrations up to 80% faster and will not continue to rely on help from engineers. Publisher3D includes all of the tools needed by 3D illustrators: import your 3D CAD files, create exploded views, automatically add balloons and publish the resulting graphics.

Remove engineers from illustration tasks because Publisher3D encourages a process that puts illustration responsibilities in the hands of illustrators. This allows engineers to get back to design work sooner, resulting in short design cycles.

Use Smart Illustration Technology to automatically create illustration sets of step-by-step processes or isolated part graphics. After these are automatically created, they can be easily customized with viewpoint adjustments, balloons and markups.

Do I need a seat of 3D CAD software to create technical illustrations?

No, you only need access to 3D CAD files. There is no need for 3D CAD software.

1 Import 3D

Import your 3D model directly from most common 3D file formats.

2 Produce Illustrations

Create custom illustrations using embedded explode and ballooning tools, then publish sets of illustrations.

3 Update Illustrations

When your 3D CAD design changes, simply re-import the 3D CAD data to update all of your illustrations.

• Imports common 3D formats directly

• Includes all of the 3D tools needed by illustrators

• Update tools tie illustrations back to 3D CAD data when changes in engineering occur.
