3DS.COM/SOLIDWORKS Dassault Systèmes Confidential Information 3/16/2015 ref.: 3DS Document 2014How FSI is using SOLIDWORKS Composer21Bridging the gap between Engineering & Illustration Patent Illustration, Print Advertising, Product Signage, decals, videos, traditionalparts manuals, part manuals for web
3DS.COM/SOLIDWORKS Dassault Systèmes Confidential Information 3/16/2015 ref.: 3DS Document 2014Using Composer at FSI: Patent Illustration22Challenges: Patent guidelines dictate line weights, fonts, callout style, paper margins, etc.
3DS.COM/SOLIDWORKS Dassault Systèmes Confidential Information 3/16/2015 ref.: 3DS Document 2014Using Composer at FSI: Commercial Printing23Challenges: Images must be in vector formats and allow full control of color palettes (CMYK,RGB, etc).
3DS.COM/SOLIDWORKS Dassault Systèmes Confidential Information 3/16/2015 ref.: 3DS Document 2014Using Composer at FSI: Animation24Challenges: Very short time frame. Can’twait for high resolution rendering of everyimage. Example was done with only 2hrsnotice and was able to be viewed oncustomers mobile device later that day.
3DS.COM/SOLIDWORKS Dassault Systèmes Confidential Information 3/16/2015 ref.: 3DS Document 2014Using Composer at FSI: WebsitesChallenges: Presentinformation that is notonly accurate but mostof all easily accessed.Bandwidth and file sizeare just as important asaccurate drawings.Tip: Many raster images can slow down publishing software. Use Vector (EPS for MS Publisher).25

Recommend installing “XML Tools” plug in, “pretty print” Graphic software: CorelDraw, Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape (free!) Chrome browser, great tools for simulating on different devices.
3DS.COM/SOLIDWORKS Dassault Systèmes Confidential Information 3/16/2015 ref.: 3DS Document 201428Basic workflow1. Save a view from Composer as SVG via Tech. Ill. Workshop2. Verify SVG by opening in a browser3. Open with Notepad , set language to XML, turn on “pretty print”1. Observe the SVG structure.1. Paths: Shadows, PMI’s (balloons), Actors, BOM, Hotspots2. Apply changes (BOM updates, color changes, transitions, etc)3. Test changes in multiple browsers.
