This is a fast way to create a simple brochure in a OLE compatible program like MS Word: -Place Word and IronCAD side by side. -In IronCAD, drag the red IronCAD ikon in the top of the scenebrowser. -Drop it in the white space in Word. Done. Word now have a image of the IronCAD part/ assembly. If you want to change something, just dubbleclick on the image in Word. Word will now edit the IronCAD model, with IronCADs toolbars.
