Program
Description
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Today's high
tech companies understand the value of providing detailed
accurate information on demand that is also visually appealing.
So how can you enrich the content of your information by creating
high quality illustrations and animations quickly?
Join us for this interactive session to find out how you can
automate the process of creating and updating illustrations
and animations with Arbortext IsoDraw, a single software tool
for 2D and 3D illustrations.
During this session we will show you how you can:
- Repurpose rich, original CAD data to quickly develop 2D
and 3D illustrations and animations.
- Automate the updating of illustrations and animations
when engineering designs change throughout a product's lifecycle.
- Prepare illustrations automatically for publishing in
multiple delivery formats, including print, interactive
and Web media to eliminate expensive, labor-intensive formatting
tasks.
- Convey explicit service procedures by displacing lengthy
text with illustrations.
- Deliver a competitive advantage in your product information
time-to-market by producing more illustrations in a shorter
time.
