Digital Thread for Illustrations – “The Foundation”
The Digital Thread for Illustrations connects CAD data with Windchill and Creo Illustrate, enabling automated updates to technical images and documents. When 3D CAD files are checked into Windchill, viewable representations are generated, eliminating manual image creation and updates. Post-publishing ensures illustrations remain synchronized with design changes, streamlining content creation in Arbortext and parts lists. This process improves efficiency, reduces errors, and ensures technical content remains up to date. Companies can further extend this workflow by integrating Windchill with their content delivery systems, providing seamless access to updated illustrations.
