Overview
Cortona3D is publication software for generating web-based 3D/2D documentation from existing CAD and BOM data.
In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to set up and operate the various Cortona3D components as they create enhanced technical documentation for a sample project.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to use Cortona3D to publish various types of 3D-animated materials, including catalogs, documentation and training resources.
