Illustrator is a graphics program to create vector graphics.joshmingsMon, 25 Aug 2008 17:31:12 -0000Re: Explode Diagrams.

I'm hoping some<br>of the developers pick up on this technology and see how it can be useful<br>during modeling and not just for documentation or tech pubs.joshmingsSat, 23 Aug 2008 22:32:15 -0000Re: Explode Diagrams.

Wonder how well it handles different complex assemblies. Also wonder if you'll have any control as to specific positioning of components.azonicbruceFri, 22 Aug 2008 21:25:36 -0000Re: Explode Diagrams.

I know there had to be some SolidWorks reps out<br>there. I believe some 3DVia guys were there too, so I'm sure they would<br>really be attracted to this technology.joshmingsThu, 21 Aug 2008 18:57:08 -0000Re: Explode Diagrams.

I wonder if anyone at Solidworks has seen this yet?dbayerdorfferThu, 21 Aug 2008 14:10:02 -0000Re: Explode Diagrams.
