Autodesk Inventor Publisher 2011

Autodesk® Inventor® Publisher is easy-to-use software for creating compelling product documentation, enabling manufacturers to provide their customers with clearer and more comprehensive technical instructions. Inventor Publisher extends the reach of Digital Prototyping to product documentation teams, giving non-CAD users the ability to leverage the same digital model used in the design-to-manufacturing process to create assembly instructions, operating procedures, repair instructions, and more. With associative updates based on changes to the Autodesk Inventor software 3D design model, Inventor Publisher helps documentation teams start working earlier in the product development process, helping reduce rework and shorten time to market.

Key Features of Autodesk Inventor Publisher 2011:

  • Import 3D models—Read data from common 3D design software and file formats, including Autodesk® Inventor® software, CATIA, ProENGINEER, DWG (3D), DWF, STEP, IGES, and SAT. 
  • Flexible authoring tools—Automatically explode 3D assemblies, reposition and change the appearance of components in different process steps and views, add annotations, and more. 
  • Associative updates—Illustrations update quickly when the Inventor model changes. 
  • Animated and interactive publishing—Publish to Adobe® Flash® platform, Autodesk® Design Review software, and AVI videos, enabling viewers to experience your documentation more vividly. 
  • Images, documents, and presentations—Easily output and share individual views or completed technical documentation in common.
