  • Improve your content’s performance using illustrations to reduce errors and improve customer satisfaction
  • Reuse valuable 2D and 3D CAD data to quickly develop intelligent graphics to optimize product and support information
  • Ensure technical illustrations and animations are up to date with an associative link to the original CAD engineering data
  • Eliminate expensive, labor-intensive illustration formaIng tasks with automatic preparation for publishing in multiple delivery formats
Features

  • PTC Arbortext IsoDraw gives you the unique ability to maintain an associative link to real-time CAD data, which simplifies the updating of illustrations and animations when engineering designs change throughout a product’s lifecycle.
  • Your illustrators can select full assemblies or components, and break down the 3D file gradually into individual spare parts illustrations–with no additional CAD designer assistance needed.
  • Callouts created using Arbortext IsoDraw are automatically converted into hotspots to aid interactive, graphic navigation such as those required in Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs) and Publications (IETPs)
  • IsoDraw complies with Industry standards (S1000D, ATA, CALS, J2008) and publishing standards (W3C, WebCGM, SVG, PNG)
  • The integration between PTC Arbortext IsoDraw and Windchill PDMLink® enables the most complete associative illustration process possible, from original CAD data to the delivery of product information.
