What to do with Published Composer Experiences

This topic explains what you can do with a Composer experience published to 3DVIA Studio.

Interact with the Experience in a Web Browser

A Composer experience published in 3DVIA Studio format can also be viewed in several web browsers. You can use the Composer Player Studio API (Application Programming Interface) to interact with this Composer experience.

Supported browser configurations with Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 64-bit are:

For details on the Composer Player Studio API, see the Composer Programming Guide.

Miscellaneous Information

This topic provides miscellaneous information about publishing to 3DVIA Studio.

  • 3DVIA Studio has no built-in mechanism for navigating views. Include navigation buttons or linked panels in your documents to navigate multiple views. See Panels Commands and Views Pane.
  • Advanced OpenGL hardware acceleration is required to publish 2D panels. See Hardware Support.
  • Published documents always use Smooth render mode.
  • Sizes and positions of actors created in Composer V6R2010x or earlier (before the introduction of paper space) might be incorrect.
  • Sizes and positions of geometry actors with non-uniform scaling (aspect ratio not maintained) might be incorrect.
