Here, we’ll walk you through a series of tools that will allow you to create detailed and fantastic looking images of your product. Sometimes, you don’t need to create detailed, technical documentation, but simply some marketing materials that make your product look good. In this video, we’ll cover how to use the technical illustration workshop to create deliverables that provide new insight into your CAD assemblies.

Technical illustrations are an incredibly useful tool for breaking down the geometry of an assembly. Making one in Composer is a surprisingly simple process, and this video will walk you through how to create your own. Making a Bill of Materials (BOM)Ī Bill of Materials is a useful document for both manufacturers and customers to keep track of the various parts that compose an assembly. This video will break down the process of creating and applying styles to make a uniform look for your deliverables. Styles are a way to keep track of the various property changes you have made to your annotations, labels, images, and other actors. This video will explain all its various functions and how to use them to supplement your existing views.

The Digger is an easy way to add additional detail to you deliverables.

The Translate and Exploded view tools are two of the most useful tools for doing so, and this video will walk through how they work and how to use them to create new insightful views of your assemblies. The Translate and Exploded View ToolsĪnother benefit of Composer is the ability to manipulate your CAD models within the software without changing the model itself. Views are the backbone of Composer, and are used in the creation of most deliverables.

In this video, we will show you how to import them into Composer and how to create views to position your model in different ways. One of the major benefits of Composer is the ability to use pre-existing CAD models. This series of videos is intended to orient new users in Composer and teach them how to use its basic functions. SOLIDWORKS Composer is a technical communication software that uses your existing CAD models to create intuitive and informative deliverables such as animations, interactive PDFs, high-resolution images, and more. We’re excited to announce a new video series called The SOLIDWORKS Composer Quick Start Guide.
