  • Technical Communication made easy

    Even non-technical users can leverage existing product designs with SOLIDWORKS Composer and create associative 2D and 3D deliverables that automatically stay up-to-date with the latest design changes.

    You can start producing a range of technical communication graphical assets [such as 3D interactive animations, 2D line art images (SVG, EPS, CGM), and high-resolution raster images (BMP, JPG, PNG, and TIF files)] earlier in the design process, helping to lower costs and speed time-to-market.

What’s Included in SOLIDWORKS Composer?

Feature Included with Composer?
+ Multi-CAD Format Support
  • SOLIDWORKS Composer supports a wide range of 3D CAD formats, including SOLIDWORKS, Pro/ENGINEER/Creo®, and Autodesk® Inventor, as well as neutral file formats such as STEP, IGES, and others.
+ Visual Content Updates
  • Update content with the latest design changes (geometry, Bill of Materials (BOM) tree, metadata and others.)
+ Faster Content Development
  • Work directly from 3D CAD data and create 2D and 3D graphical content in multiple formats, such as raster images (JPG, BMP, TIF, PNG); vector images (SVG, EPS, SVGZ, CGM); videos (AVI); and 3D interactive animations (3D PDF, HTML, SMG); executable package, (ActiveX control). Add annotations (auto balloons, BOM table, arrows, and detail views). Change appearances (hide/show, transparency, and colours).
+ Document Processes
  • Create step by step step-by-step procedures showing incremental components.
+ Animations
  • Create interactive storyboards by adding links to relevant views. Animate appearances and custom properties. Create keyframe animation by drag-and-drop views on timeline. Create interactive animations with markers and filter timeline keys for finer control.
+ BOM Customisation
  • Create a manufacturing BOM independent of an engineering BOM. Customise parts lists and properties for each view.
+ Process Automation
  • Automate Processes
  • Automate batch mode import of 3D files and publishing content.
  • Automate document creation within existing workflow systems.
  • Automate document translation by using custom XML programming.
