XVL Work Instruction Suite
Product Overview
XVL Work Instruction Suite is a special configuration of XVL Studio that provides everything you need to author rich, interactive 2D and 3D work instructions from CAD models. It includes:
- XVL Studio Standard
- XVL Studio Illustration Option
- XVL Studio Multi-CAD Direct Import Option
XVL Work Instruction Suite reads 3D models in all major CAD and interchange formats. Its editing tools enable you to author mBOMs, design task-based process trees, make illustrations and generate animations.
XVL Work Instruction Suite also includes all the features found in XVL Technical Illustration Suite for creating 2D illustrations.
Key Features and Benefits
Import All 3D CAD Data from a Variety of Supported Formats
With an extensive range of supported CAD formats, import your geometric data, part information, and BOMs into a single file to be used for referencing throughout the authoring process.
Author Configurable mBOMs
Easily build an mBOM from your imported eBOM data by dragging and dropping into the manufacture tree or directly import existing MBOM data. The mBOM allows for the creation of manufacturing BOM based work instruction authoring.
Design Task-Based Process Trees
Build the process sequence by utilizing the 3D data and authored mBOM. Link meta data to your process steps to add an extra level of detail.
Utilize Animated Work Instructions
Add extra details to your process through animated work instructions that can include text-based callouts and alerts or images and meta data that can be displayed during the animation. With the ability to set each view of the animation, you can highlight the detail of each process task more clearly.
Create Illustration-Based Work Instructions
Utilize process snapshots to create multiple static illustration views that explain your assembly process. Add notes, images, cross sections, meta data, and much more to increase work instruction comprehension. This provides an option for standard paper-based work instructions. Avoid the need to manually manipulate photos and text to create paper-based work instructions with the ability to use 3D data.
Develop Publish-Ready Documents
After authoring your work instruction content, publish in multiple formats by taking advantage of some of our other products listed below.
