Hi hj labs, Composer is not an integrated module within SOLIDWORKS. It is its own standalone program. If you had inserted a Composer serial number during your SOLIDWORKS installation you will find "Composer" in your Windows Start menu. If you don't have a Composer serial number, you won't find it on your machine though.
Hi dlfy2006, SOLIDWORKS Composer was formerly called 3DVIA Composer back before 2013. It originated as a separate software company that was then acquired by SOLIDWORKS to fill a role in their software suite. It has since been renamed SOLIDWORKS Composer to align with the rest of their software catalog.
That was a great intro (refresher in my case)...thank you very much!
how to download or start 3dvia composer?? it does not appear inside my solidworks UI....

Why does the title say Solidworks Composer, but I see 3DVIA Composer?
