Arbortext IsoDraw
Designed with the technical illustrator in mind, PTC's Arbortext IsoDraw 7.0 version bundles a wide range of 2D and 3D capabilities (2D illustrations, 3D illustrations, 2D animation, 3D animation and a mix of 2D and 3D illustrations and animations) in a single tool. This way companies can create both 2D and 3D technical illustrations and animations from scratch — instead of having to redraw graphics, which most options require — while also letting them more easily create context by reusing 3D CAD data. The software is integrated with PTC's Pro/ENGINEER 3D CAD package, which means CAD data associated with that software can be directly embedded in technical documents, leading to higher-quality and lower cost publications. Moreover, the ability to embed 3D animations in publications helps people visually interact with and view objects from multiple perspectives, which in turn can improve computer-based training, assembly instructions and online maintenance manuals.

Light Matters: The Unsung Heroes of
Modern Health Care
First, let's define "no-compromise." In an ideal configuration, this lamp would use a high-brightness LED (HBLED) that is built into a small, integrated package and is able to produce a large quantity of focused light, operate with a high level of reliability and generate no audible noise. Is this difficult? Yes, but it is possible. Read More
