Introduction to PTC Creo Illustrate

Course Description

In this course, you will learn about Creo Illustrate and its role as a purpose-built, role-based solution for creating 3-D technical illustrations. You will learn how to dynamically create technical illustrations from existing 3-D CAD data. You will also learn how to map existing eBOM data to populate an illustration-specific sBOM. In addition, you will learn how to manipulate imported 3-D viewables to create service information content including service procedures, parts identification, training materials, and product assembly and disassembly. Finally, you will learn how to create markup and annotations in figures and animations. At the end of each module, you will complete a set of review questions to reinforce critical topics from that module.
