+/*! \page pageauthoring AuthoringTool
+
+The application <b>AuthoringTool</b> is a command-line asset authoring utility.  It reads a file containing a single graphics mesh
+(currently .fbx and .obj format are supported in this tool), and fractures it according to the parameters given in the command line.
+User can configure output of tool. It can save render mesh geometry to .fbx or .obj file. 
+
+Additionally user can set how Blast data should be saved:
+
+	1) BPXA-asset which incorporates Blast data and collision geometry for physics engine. 
+
+	2) LL-asset which is Low Level asset data
+
+	3) Tk-asset which is Toolkit asset data
+
+BPXA and .obj files may be consumed by the \ref pagesampleassetviewer.
