Cortona3D

• A general understanding of the technical documentation process
• General experience with productivity software and tools (MS Word, PowerPoint, Adobe Illustrator, etc.)
• CAD experience is helpful, but not required

Cortona3D is publication software for generating web-based 3D/2D documentation from existing CAD and BOM data.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to set up and operate the various Cortona3D components as they create enhanced technical documentation for a sample project.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to use Cortona3D to publish various types of 3D-animated materials, including catalogs, documentation and training resources.
