Technical Publications
Effective communication of accurate manufacturing, installation, and maintenance procedures is crucial for product performance and business success. With Solid Edge technical publication solutions, your design team can swiftly produce a wide range of technical documents—from basic illustrations for user manuals to detailed, interactive 3D documents for manufacturing and service. This reduces reliance on specialized technical writers or external services, enabling you to create high-quality documents in-house.
Work directly with your Solid Edge parts and assemblies
Solid Edge technical publication solutions are seamlessly integrated with Solid Edge, enabling you to work directly with your CAD parts and assemblies without the need for file conversions. Any changes made to the original design can be quickly updated in existing documents, streamlining the engineering change process and ensuring that published materials always reflect the most up-to-date design.
Quickly create detailed illustrations of your designs
Solid Edge Illustrations enables you to generate high-quality 3D PDFs and cloud-ready visual content directly from Solid Edge and other 3D CAD files. Capture 3D views in Solid Edge, then enhance them with markups, callouts, and balloons before publishing. With its comprehensive tools for creating images, animations, and template-driven 3D PDFs, Solid Edge Illustrations simplifies the process of producing professional, visually-rich documentation from your 3D models.
Publish interactive technical documents
Solid Edge 3D Publishing is intuitive technical documentation software that lets you seamlessly embed Solid Edge and other 3D CAD models into your documents. Equipped with robust tools for handling 3D models, parts lists, and rich text formatting, it enables users of all experience levels to quickly create complete printed or interactive technical content. Ideal for producing training materials, work instructions, illustrated parts catalogs, service manuals, and support documentation.
Secure cloud collaboration and file sharing
Teamcenter Share enables seamless access to technical documentation—anytime, anywhere, on any device. Easily share and review content with customers, suppliers, partners, and colleagues. With next-generation cloud collaboration tools, Teamcenter Share empowers efficient teamwork across design and engineering projects.
Integration with Teamcenter PLM software
Accelerate the transition from design to documentation with Teamcenter®, Siemens’ industry-leading product lifecycle management (PLM) solution. Easily open, save, check in, and check out the latest versions of your design data, all within the Teamcenter client. With direct access to up-to-date design information, you can confidently manage data and ensure accuracy at every step.
XLIFF language translation
Expand your global reach with seamless language translation using the XML Localization Interchange File Format (XLIFF). The Solid Edge XLIFF Language Translation module—available as an add-on—enables efficient import and export of translation files, making it easy to localize digital documents created in both Solid Edge 3D Publishing and Solid Edge Illustrations.See Solid Edge technical publications in action
