Introduction to translators

Some system translators require a postprocessor translator and some require preprocessor translators. Typically, postprocessor translators are used to generate a 2D preview or thumbnail image of translated 3D data. All presupplied translators require a postprocessor translator. These translators generate the 2D preview image of the 3D data. Some authoring tools require different translators for 3D (part) and 2D (drawing) engineering data. Both formats must be translated to JPEG to create preview images. Typically, to support the full range of translations for a given tool, you must install, enable, and configure both the part and the drawing translators for that tool (in addition to the postprocessors). Translators list In your installation directory, refer to the Dispatcher_Root\Module\Translators directory for a complete list of translators. Each translator directory contains a Readme.txt file for the specific translator. This file provides a description of the translator, prerequisites, required licenses, and the installation instructions.
