can you tell me how you printed that .pdf? I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.1. Do I need a special version of Acrobat to print the 3D model? TIA

Yes, It requires "Adobe Acrobat 8 3D". If you already have 8 Pro, it should be fairly cheap to upgrade to 3D.

It's a pretty amazing piece of software. To make a pdf, you simply open windows explorer, right click on an IAM or IPT and select Convert to PDF. Takes only seconds, and produces a very nice model with a tiny filesize.

Fabricators are going to love receiving these models in addition to the drawings.

Most of the highest level assemblies I've done, are less than 1meg in the 3d pdf format. They include a few hundred parts.

For instance, this model is only 877k.

good call!!, i was reading this and thinking what the..
a 3d dwf is published straight of a model, (i think you'll find your file size is way smaller than a 3d pdf).
For an animated 3d dwf straight out of an ipn file (see attached), and a multi paged dwf, (which ironically i then turn into a multi page pdf, (because the world is stupid), its a real shame autodesk lost the dwf vs pdf war, rember the dwf push a few years back with the devo song, whip it, was it the song people didnt like?, i personally didnt mind devo, Anyways hopefully, when vista speeds up little, everyone will now be able to view native dwfs without having to download ( which some people must have a phobia about or just cant quite work it out,)
Just to point out a few handy things that dwfs have, mass properties of each part, part no, cost, what ever the hell you want, then your client (if they have design review, can measure mark up and send back any changes all within the one tiny file, parts can be cross sectioned turned transparant on off etc... hell you can even get romantic and change the lighting.
one day people will wake up to dwf, dwf it good.

Excellent, is there a "how to" data sheet on this?

its basically tweaked components, in a *.ipn file. creating a camera view first, then updating that same camera by clicking on it as you go through the animation timeline. once your happy hit publish and hey presto, an animated 3d dwf

Proof that I actually do something besides copy things off the internet. It's something i've been working on for awhile as far as getting the shape, and will be an ongoing WIP

One of the things i'll likely do is to shorten it up some.

Could you please post this as a standard avi. file that I can show to my md
as an example of what can be achieved, as it may help me persuade him to
provide more training.

Thanks.
