What is PTC Illustrate?
PTC Illustrate enables companies to transform CAD or engineering data into create rich 3D technical illustrations, 2D drawings, and interactive animated sequences that accurately reflect current product configurations and support formats from hard copy to augmented reality.
Key features
Repurpose CAD data for 3D technical illustrations and animations
Easily create 3D technical illustrations by importing design data from all major CAD systems. Maintain an associative link to the original CAD file to automate the 3D illustration change process when it comes to modifications to engineering design.
2D and 3D publish and export capabilities
Publish all the steps from a sequence to 2D or 3D formats with a single click in multiple options of vector/raster formats.
Generate illustrated parts lists and callouts
Create an interactive parts list with callouts that reflect the structure of the sBOM, representing the entire bill of materials or a subset.
