Technical illustrations, used in operating instructions, manuals, and spare parts catalogs, convey important information about products. But, the process for creating technical illustrations is labor-intensive and expensive. But, it doesn't have to be.
That's the message from the folks at PTC who have created a pretty cool Flash animation <http://www.ptc.com/read?c=1-2ZEELG&o=1-5B41H&p=62785&t=http%3A%2F%2Fwww\ %2Eptc%2Ecom%2Fview%3Fim%5Fdbkey%3D62785> to demonstrate how their product, Arbortext IsoDraw <http://www.ptc.com/appserver/mkt/products/home.jsp?&k=4891> can help illustrators optimize technical illustration workflow. I also discovered a white paper on the site entitled Technical Illustration in the 21st Century: A Primer for Today's Professionals <http://www.ptc.com/appserver/wcms/forms/index.jsp?&im_dbkey=51552&icg_d\ bkey=482> that was surprisingly good and not overloaded with commercial content. Topics covered include: * Technical illustration vs. drawings * Perspective * Illustration techniques * Adding texture * Formatting text * and more Hope you find these resources useful.
