Cortona3D RapidAuthor (v2606.0.0.384)
Manual technical documentation is a headache, especially in manufacturing, robotics, and aerospace, where it can eat up hours. Static text and 2D images just aren’t enough. Cortona3D RapidAuthor Full helps you build interactive 3D manuals and parts catalogs much more easily. I’ve put the app’s download link below.
You can reuse 3D CAD models from many different software packages, so there’s no need to start from scratch. You can even bring in CAD data already made in SolidWorks Premium 2026 (Windows).
RapidAuthor has several modules. RapidManual creates work instructions, while RapidCatalog builds illustrated parts catalogs. There’s a lot more to explore, too. Give it a try!
It also supports industry standards like DITA, ATA2200, S1000D, and SCORM.
You can publish to HTML5, PDF, IETM, and even augmented reality. Graphics update automatically when engineering data changes in your PLM system.
In my opinion, Cortona3D RapidAuthor could be one of the most complete options out there.
Go ahead, download RapidAuthor and see the workflow for yourself. 😁
