    i made a 3d view with background sky image and looks great on the cover sheet.

    but when exporting to dwf it does not show up.

     

    thanks, alex

    Hi Alex,

     

    This is a known limitation for dwf export. As a workaroud, currently, you can try to create a sheet, and add the 3D view to that sheet, then insert a tif format image on that sheet, then export this sheet view to dwf. If this doesn't satisfy your requirement very well, I would encourage you report such wish list here:

    Yes. Maybe you still need to delete the view title to get a better result.
