On Monday, Feb. 24, 2014 in Redwood City at Harry’s Hofbrau, STC Silicon Valley hosted Rebecca Firestone of Zep Solar’s presentation “Challenges When Developing Hardware Documentation for Industrial Design: A Case Study.” Firestone showed the audience how to create a composited document and develop an effective graphical language and style. After trying several different tools and production methods, a combination method evolved: SolidWorks, 3D PDF renderings, Jing, Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, and unstructured FrameMaker. She talked about the challenges of converting to topic-based authoring approaches.
