Highly descriptive technical publications can be very profitable, especially when they help manufacturing and service teams be more productive. RapidAuthor for Teamcenter extends your investment in engineering design data by reusing that content directly in product documentation.

This release of RapidAuthor for Teamcenter introduces many useful features, including:

  • Formula Editor is available in all DITA and S1000D specification components
  • RapidManual procedure refresh rate is up to ten times faster than before
  • DITA authoring includes new out-of-the-box topic types and the ability to compile a publication from multiple topics
  • Connector provides an integration between Teamcenter and REFLEKT ONE, an augmented reality (AR) platform. This enables AR tracking configurations management in Teamcenter. AR scenarios can be authored in Teamcenter, including 3D-animations, points of interests and information screens. AR component is now included into RapidAuthor for no additional charge.
