3D 插图的应用给制造商带来了一个正快速发展的机会，让他们能够提供更有效的技术信息。Creo Illustrate 将卓越的3D 插图功能与相关的CAD 数据结合起来，提供特定于配置的图形化内容，这些内容准确反映了当前的产品设计，可用于操作、维修和维护产品。

Creo Illustrate 提供了一个专用环境，以及创建丰富的3D 技 术插图所需的功能。这些插图用于以图形方式清楚地向维修信息和技术信息的用户传达复杂的产品和程序。此功能使技术插 图画家、作者和维修规划人员可以改变任何3D 格式的设计和工程数据的用途，将其用在维修程序、培训材料、图解零件目 录和所有形式的技术性交流中。

The use of 3D illustrations is a rapidly growing opportunity for manufacturers to deliver more effective technical information. Creo Illustrate couples superior 3D illustration capabilities with associative CAD data to deliver configuration- specific graphical content used to operate, service and maintain products that accurately reflects the current product design.

There are many new and exciting enhancements in 2.0 to make Creo Illustrate more powerful and robust in 3D technical illustrations. These fall into 6 general groups.

- sBOM Manipulation

- Illustration Tools

- Animation Tools

- Item Lists

- Publishing

- Other Enhancements

There are a number of enhancements to improve your experience when working with the sBOM structure. In Creo Illustrate 1.0 you were able to drag and drop eBOM parts (or sub-assemblies) on to the sBOM tree and restructure the sBOM manually. You can still do this in 2.0, but we have also added the ability to auto-configure the sBOM with an XML file.

If you are managing your sBOM in a separate database then Creo Illustrate can import an XML file of your sBOM and this will automatically structure the illustration sBOM to match, along with the CAD parts. This will save time and prevent errors in structuring the illustration BOM, allowing you to move quickly on to the fun part of technical illustration.

The XML BOM file can also be extended to auto-generate multiple figures in your 3D illustration to further streamline your process. If your technical illustrations must all be authored with a standard set of figures for different purposes (exploded view, assembled view, print view, etc.) then this extension to the XML file can pre-configure a set of figures for your illustrators to work on.

One of the other aspects to BOM restructuring is the combining (or ‘welding’) of engineering parts to form single serviceable items. ‘Combine’ has been enhanced to make it even more flexible. Combine in 2.0 now works at the part level, not the assembly level. Simply select which parts need to be combined within a sub-assembly and apply the ‘combine’ to them. In this way you can now have sub-assemblies that have a mixture of combined and individual parts, without needing to combine the whole sub-assembly.

Finally we have extended the ‘Find’ tool to work in both the sBOM and eBOM trees, enabling you to find parts or assemblies quickly in either tree.
