    WOW, that is Awsome... Great work digging this one up!!
  • Daniel · 1 year ago
    Good find! That would be a great tool for end users and me! I wonder if anyone at Solidworks has seen this yet?
  • Josh M · 1 year ago
    I hope they've seen it. I know there had to be some SolidWorks reps out
    there. I believe some 3DVia guys were there too, so I'm sure they would
    really be attracted to this technology.

    This is pretty slick - I dunno if you've played with COmposer yet, but there's basic elements like this in the linear explode tool - no where near as intelligent, but its a start.. slick

    Sweet. Speedy. Looks like huge time saver. Wonder how well it handles different complex assemblies. Also wonder if you'll have any control as to specific positioning of components.
  • Josh M · 1 year ago
    I wonder this too Bruce. It always looks cool in the demo. I'm hoping some
    of the developers pick up on this technology and see how it can be useful
    during modeling and not just for documentation or tech pubs.

    composer is just like a illustrator clone no?
  • Josh M · 1 year ago
    I haven't used composer, but I do know it's got different features than
    illustrator. Illustrator is a graphics program to create vector graphics.

    its not really - it lets you take your 3D data and repurpose it for tech pubs, service manuals and stuff - its pretty intelligent and can do a lot of the hardwork for you - illustrator is pretty much, as josh says, a vector drawing tool.. composer is much more.. task specific?
