### Why choose SOLIDWORKS Composer?

Repurpose your 3D engineering models for creating graphical content to explain processes and procedures in technical communications, such as manufacturing assembly instructions, product manuals, installation instructions, service manuals, training guides, marketing brochures, and sales bidding kits.

###  Which **SOLIDWORKS Composer package** is right for you? 

###  SOLIDWORKS Composer 

SOLIDWORKS® Composer allows you to quickly create 2D and 3D graphical content to clearly explain and present your product or process. The tools let you work directly from 3D CAD data to create high-quality illustrations, photorealistic images, and interactive animations, and to import design data.

Update Visual ContentUpdate content with the latest design changes (geometry, Bill of Materials (BOM) tree, metadata,and others.)

Faster Content DevelopmentWork 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 colors).

Document ProcessesCreate step by step step-by-step procedures showing incremental components.

Create AnimationsCreate 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.

Customize BOMsCreate a manufacturing BOM independent of an engineering BOM. Customize parts lists and properties for each view.

Automate ProcessesAutomate batch mode import of 3D files and publishing content. Automate document creation within existing workflow systems. Automate document translation by using custom XML programming.

Viewing CustomizationView step-by-step interactive instructions with no additional user interface required. Rotate, zoom, animate, measure, view BOM, section (rights-controlled by author). Create custom applications to distribute internally or through a website.

Multiple Output FormatsProvide multiple formats for 2D output (such asBMP, PNG, EPS) and animation (such as AVI).

Keep All Product Information CurrentKeep all graphical content and technical communication deliverables current.

Automatically Update Product InformationMinimize the time it takes to update graphical assets and critical design information. Automatically update metadata, geometry, BOM, and other manufacturing information.

Command Line Interface AccessibilityUse the interface of Sync and a command line interface to enable integration with PLM applications throughout your organization.

Check for Design ErrorsIdentify errors before products hit the shop floor giving you instant validation for assembly procedures after a design change.

Clash DetectionInteractive static and dynamic collision detection for service qualification and assembly procedures and path planning.
