Show N Tell a Virtual 3D Book

A Breakthrough in Communication…

Show-n-Tell™ for learning

One of the biggest barriers to implementing a new CAD/CAM Tool is training. VX designed Show-n-Tell™ to virtually eliminate the cost of learning a new product. Show-n-Tell™ is built into VX CAD/CAM for on screen step-by-step lessons that work like a 3D book. Users can step back and forth through tutorial steps with a click of a button. All instructions are on screen eliminating the need to flip back to a video or hold a book open. 3D models, showing the expected result, can be rotated and zoomed, giving the user better feedback and understanding. Users work at their own pace, not that of an instructor, so no one gets left behind.

In VX 2009 v14.01 or greater you can find introductory Show-n-Tell tutorials on the Main Menu and you can download many more from the online Learning Center.

In VX 2008 v13.7 or greater you can find the Show-n-Tell tutorials under the HELP Menu.

You can also find QuickTips under the Help Menu in your VX software.

Show-n-Tell™ for communication

The Show-n-Tell™ authoring tools are simple to use capturing layering, camera angle, zoom, and display mode. Customers can use Show-n-Tell for design review & markup, assembly instructions, and process / setup sheets. The free VX Viewer makes sharing Show-n-Tell™ easy with someone who does not own VX.

Design Review

Models & drawings can be marked up with annotation and dimensioning tools, then the author can take quick snapshots with Show-n-Tell™ to send back to his customer or over to an engineer for inspection and correction. Show-n-Tell™ knows where each document is located, so it will load the correct file and display the layers and view orientation that the author captured, making communication clear.

Assembly Instructions

Assembly sequence can be captured simply by using Show-n-Tell to take snapshots of the layers of the components for each step in the assembly. The author can also employ the annotation tools to give special assembly instructions.

Design Intent / Knowledge Capture

VX Show-n-Tell™ provides a medium to communicate "tricks of the trade" experience, not just "how" something is done but also "why" it's done a particular way. Drawing notes, comments, formulas, and intent can be captured with the 3D Model, assembly and drawings using Show-n-Tell™ authoring tools. Designers and engineers can record design intent with the model or drawing for use in the future.

Non-Native Parts and Assemblies

Each of the Show-n-Tell™ application areas can provide huge benefits to companies, improving communication of ideas, design intent, markup, process and instructions. Even though Show-n-Tell™ resides inside of VX, all of the benefits can be realized with non-native geometry.
