Designcenter Solid Edge Technical Publications fact sheet

This four-page fact sheet covers Designcenter Solid Edge Technical Publications (called Solid Edge Technical Publications in the document), tools for producing technical documentation directly from Solid Edge 3D parts and assemblies. It explains how design teams can create work instructions, maintenance manuals, user guides and spare parts catalogues, and keep them up to date when the design changes.

What the document covers

• The two products: Solid Edge Illustrations for illustrations, parts lists and animated instructions, and Solid Edge 3D Publishing for multi-page documents with embedded 3D content
• A feature matrix comparing outputs, working file formats (QSM and QSD), interactive PDF and HTML5 publishing, printing and data exchange between the two
• Storyboard wizards that build step-by-step instructions from exploded views, smart templates for page layout, and named part sets for large models
• Output to 3D PDF and HTML5 viewable without plugins, SVG with optional interactive parts lists, and batch raster or vector images in custom sizes
• Import of JT, NX data, section views and PMI, Teamcenter integration for check-in and check-out, and sharing through Teamcenter Share
• The XLIFF Language Translation add-on, which exports text for standard translation software

Who it is for

Design engineers, technical authors and service or after-sales teams that produce assembly instructions, manuals and parts catalogues for manufactured products.
