SOLIDWORKS Composer

SOLIDWORKS Composer is a powerful desktop solution that enables you to repurpose your 3D engineering models for creating rich graphical content, making it easy to communicate complex processes and procedures. Whether you’re developing manufacturing assembly instructions, installation and service manuals, training guides, marketing materials, or sales kits, Composer allows you to convert intricate CAD data into clear, accessible 2D and 3D visuals—all without requiring advanced CAD expertise

Key Features

Rapid Content Creation: Quickly generate 2D and 3D graphics, animations, and interactive documents directly from your CAD data, streamlining the creation of technical communication deliverables such as work instructions and product manuals
Intuitive Tools: Bring explodable views, step-by-step assembly sequences, and interactive storyboards to life with a user-friendly interface. Manipulate views, add annotations, arrows, callouts, and dimensions to clarify every procedure.
Smart Updates: With associative links to CAD models, Composer automatically updates your documentation when designs change, ensuring accuracy throughout the lifecycle of your product.
Automation and Consistency: Apply styles to control the look and feel of annotations, labels, and images for professional, consistent documentation.
Technical Illustrations: Generate high-resolution graphics, vector line art, and raster images suited for both print and digital media.
Versatile Outputs: Export deliverables in a variety of standard formats, including PDF, HTML, AVI, SVG, BMP, JPG, and more—enabling easy integration with your organization’s documentation systems.
