DS CATIA Composer R2017x Refresh5

Dassault Systemes, the 3DEXPERIENCE Company, world leader in 3D design software, 3D Digital Mock Up and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, has released CATIA Composer R2017x T5, is a technical communication software that lets you clearly explain products using existing 3D CAD data.

What's new in DS CATIA Composer R2017x T5 (build 7.4.5.1300):

New Functionality
- Mirror Animation
You can now mirror animations. Technically, this reproduces in inverted order the keys of selected animation blocks. For example, mirroring a Screw step creates an Unscrew step. See Creating Pre-defined Animations and Custom Animation XML Example.
- Sorting Profiles Alphabetically or By Category
Two new options are now available for workshop profiles, letting you specify whether profiles should be sorted alphabetically or by category of location, that is Composer default path profiles, user-defined path profiles, or other path profiles (such as network locations). See About Profiles for Workshop Settings.
Enhanced Functionality
- Enhancement of Translate and Scale Motions
The Translate and Scale motions of the Animation Library workshop have been enhanced to support mirroring of animations. See Animation Library Workshop.
- Advanced Features Available in Composer Built-in Samples Without the Player Pro License
A Composer Player Pro license is necessary to use advanced features in published Composer files. However, if you are using a Composer built-in sample, advanced features are now available even without the Player Pro license. When opening a Composer HTML file without a Player Pro license, an information message appears to inform you about this. See About the HTML Output.
Customizing Preferences
- ProfilesLoadOnDemand
This new advanced preference let you specify whether workshop profiles should be loaded on demand, or all at once. Loading profiles on demand only can be useful when many profiles are defined, or for profiles stored on a network. See Advanced Settings.
Note: Loading of profiles on demand was the existing behavior for all workshops that use profiles, except for the Technical Illustration and the Styles workshops (for which all profiles used to be loaded when selecting one in the Profile list). This new preference makes the loading of profiles homogeneous throughout all workshops.

Note: For the full list of new and improved features, please refer to the release notes located in the folder of your DS CATIA Composer R2017x T5.


About CATIA Composer. CATIA Composer will change the way you create, update and distribute rich product documentation. By reusing digital product definition data including 3D design data and bills-of-material information, CATIA Composer revolutionizes the product documentation process for enterprises of all sizes.

With its easy-to-use, desktop content-creation system, CATIA Composer effectively automates processes that are crucial for success in the marketplace.

Before CATIA Composer, the product documentation deliverable production process was a costly, error-prone process which had to be repeated, usually from the start, for any product change.

Now, by using CATIA Composer, enterprises can quickly and easily automate their product documentation deliverable production processes while reducing costs and improving quality. CATIA Composer allows production of product documentation to be concurrent with the design of the product.

Based on a lightweight, open, XML-based architecture, CATIA Composer allows non-technical users to create associative 2D and 3D technical illustrations, product documentation, animations and more directly from digital product data. End-users can seamlessly incorporate bills-of-material (BOM) data in their output deliverables. CATIA Composer encourages reuse of 3D product data in departments such as sales, marketing, customer service, training, support and manufacturing. Reuse of the digital product definition increases the value of that information while ensuring the creation of accurate, always-current deliverables. Examples include assembly and disassembly procedures, technical illustrations, interactive 3D animations, training materials, marketing materials, sales tools and more.
