I am looking to add some solidwork drawings to the web and wanted to know if 2012 outputted vectors for HTML5? I really want some interactive diagrams that can be moved around and highlighted online, I am open to other methods but figure HTML5 would be the most future proof.
Appriciate any help
Paul
Have you found any other means to get HTML5 output? Perhaps export to PDF or AI or DXF, and then find an app that will translate to HTML5.
I would suggest using 3DVIA composer if you want to make your models interactive in the internet =)
Thanks for all the replys. I am not sure the best way to procede really, I need something fairly simple as we have a large amount of drawings to upload. How much is the 3DVIA composer to buy and how easy is it to make our models interactive online?
For the price I suggest you consult your locl VAR for that.
3DVIA ia easy to learn, easier than Solidworks for me. You also dont need engineering background to use it.
You can check youtube or any video providers for the capabilities. Or you can ask for a demo from your VAR
I would recommend 3DVIA Composer if you want to create a lot of these documents, with added flexibility.
However, if you just want vector output, SVG is the vector format of choice for web and HTML5.
Create a drawing file with your views, Save As >> DXF, then use a program such as Adobe Illustrator or DraftSight (which is free) to convert the DXF to SVG.
No, not a capability of SolidWorks 2012.
Be sure to put in an enhancement request on the Customer Portal.
