To say briefly - these software products are designed for a slightly different purpose:Arbortext IsoDraw - for creating 2D technical illustration (it has a good functionality for these purposes);Creo Illustrate - for 3D technical illustration (including 3D animation).Or you mean - better for connecting with Windchill PDM?P.S. But apparently the functionality of both programs eventually merged into one new software.

Hi,

I am working as an technical illustrator. I installed some softwares as following.

Autodesk Inventor
PTC Creo Parametric
PTC IsoDraw CADprocess
CorelDraw
Windchill
Arbotext Editor

I have two working process

Open 3D model in Inventor > Create 2D drawing as CAD file > Open the drawing in CorelDraw > Modify the drawing and export it to SVG
Open 3D model in IsoDraw > Create 2D drawing as CGM > Open CGM in CorelDraw > Modify the drawing and export it to SVG

I upload SVG to Windchill one by one.I think it will be easy to use if there is a link between Isodraw and Windchill.

There are two choices for me. IsoDraw and Creo Illustrate. I want to know which one is better.

Thanks.

To say briefly - these software products are designed for a slightly different purpose:

Arbortext IsoDraw - for creating 2D technical illustration (it has a good functionality for these purposes);
Creo Illustrate - for 3D technical illustration (including 3D animation).

Or you mean - better for connecting with Windchill PDM?

P.S. But apparently the functionality of both programs eventually merged into one new software.
