Frequently Asked Questions
What is a technical Illustration?
A technical illustration is a rendering
(drawings, diagrams, images, designs) that combines computer graphics and art to
visually communicate complex technical information. Technical illustrations form
documents of varying complexity and use a diverse range of media - from printed
materials to interactive screen illustrations. Parts catalogs, schematics,
wiring diagrams and assembly instructions for maintenance manuals are just a few
examples of technical illustrations.
Why use special software for technical
illustration?
Technical illustrators need specialized tools to
properly illustrate the workings of a device or machine for audiences that
include engineers, technicians and/or users with no technical background. A
technical illustration is flexible for adding or omitting information. Unlike a
technical drawing, a technical illustration can omit elements to only include
details relevant to its purpose. It can also be updated to include tools and
elements that were not modelled or depicted during the construction process.
What is the difference between technical
illustration and CAD software?
CAD software, such as AutoCAD®, AutoCAD LT® or
VectorWorks®, is primarily meant for engineers and architects who create solid
models, wire frames and wiring diagrams. Often these users run simulations and
validations to compare their designs against specifications and then need to
output bills for materials and manufacturing.
With respect to workflow, the engineering CAD
output is for trained engineers and used to control machines for production. As
a result, technical illustrators need software to convert CAD designs into
easily understood graphics that can be reused throughout an organization's
product life cycle.
What is the difference between technical
illustration and graphic design software?
Graphics, page layout and flowcharting
applications provide powerful tools for graphic designers, creative
professionals and general business users. However, these applications do not
offer the features required for accurate technical illustrations used in product
documentation. For example, technical illustrations rely on callouts to provide
additional information on specific objects, such as parts numbers, magnifying
effects or text descriptions. A key requirement for technical illustrations is
that halos surround callouts (and other explanatory lines in the drawing) so
that they are easily readable in complex graphics. Creating halos with creative
graphics applications requires 10 to 15 steps. However, with the specialized
features provided by Corel DESIGNER X4, halos are created automatically with
callouts and now also with other types of lines and curves. |
