Learn to make your how to make technical publications Quicker, Easier, and More Effective than ever before!
Create better user manuals and product documentation
Good product documentation is key to building customer satisfaction and reducing support costs. Long text-filled documents, outdated digital photos and screen captures result in higher frustration and wasted time for people reading your manuals.
A picture is worth thousand words. By working directly with 3D data, document creators can select camera angles and add annotations, thereby creating hundreds of pictures that can replace paragraphs. Documentation can start concurrent to design, saving time and resulting in higher-quality documents.
We'll show you the latest methods for image creation directly from 3D models, putting documentation online and interactive animations to easily show how to use a product and illustrate how it works.
Create accurate repair and maintenance manuals
Documenting how to dismantle a machine, fix or service it, then reassemble it requires step-by-step instructions. This process is long and time consuming, and writers usually have to wait until final product is assembled and manufactured.
We can show you some new techniques that will let you replace text-based manuals with graphics and video animations. Service operations are improved and the need for translation minimized. You can share interactive service instructions with partners across the globe over the web or with CD-ROMs. Translation costs are typically cut by over 50% and machines get repaired faster, increasing satisfaction.
Publish better training materials
We'll show you how to develop interactive product training materials–for customers, employees and partners–quickly and cost effectively by reusing 3D data. You can create videos and animations instead of written manuals, thereby offering better training and lowering translation costs.
