Digital Thread for Illustrations - "The Foundation"

A subset of the full Digital Thread for Service pertains to illustrations. It is achieved when CAD is connected all the way through to the illustration image files and into the documents, all managed in Windchill. Changes to the design can be propagated to the images and documents in a controlled, automated manner using Windchill. This improves efficiency for the technical content authors by eliminating manual image file creation, manual uploading, and the manual checkout/check-in process for image changes.
