    Convert w/o loosing hide

    I've created a 3D drawing that I'd like to convert to a format that others can view or print.

    I tried to convert to PDF but the Hide feature was lost. The 3D view showed all the hidden lines.

    Does anyone know a way to transfer to a reader, that will keep the hidden lines hidden, that I may post to a public web site?

    Thanks,
    Jerry

    Have you tried publishing to a 3D DWF?

    Thanks,
    I did think of converting it to DWF but not everyone has the reader.

    I don't know if a DWF can be converted as a PDF or not. I did save it to a DXB file and DXBIN that file to a new drawing. But the line weights were lost in that process.

    Thanks for your reply

    If you use Autodesk Freewheel, http://freewheel.autodesk.com, the others
    don't need the reader.
