You do not need to own a SOLIDWORKS Composer license to access a SOLIDWORKS Composer file embedded in a PDF, Word or an HTML document, making it a great way to share your models with those who may not have access to SOLIDWORKS software.\u00a0 Files embedded in PDF, Word documents, and HTML files offer a variety of functionality, allowing users to navigate their assembly in 3D space, select views, play animations, and more. These files can be exported in SOLIDWORKS provided default templates, or can be embedded in your own templates for additional customization. Look at the videos below to get acquainted with the basics of publishing to PDF, Word and HTML.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<div class=\"entry-content-asset\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dr8IlxcdIdY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<div class=\"entry-content-asset\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lD94aYx4AM8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<div class=\"entry-content-asset\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KLPkKvdux4A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>And that\u2019s it for the Quick Start Guide!
