Yes…it's true, but more appropriately I should say that I hate cool technology that's nothing more than cool.

You might remember in my last blog I said how 3DVIA Composer was so easy to use even a plastics guy could do it? Well that's still true, and one of the things I'd like to tell you about this week is how easy it is to use 3DVIA Composer to create high resolution graphics for 2D-based assembly instructions, product guides and maintenance manuals.
