The published image or 3D PDF does not match my document...

The published image or 3D PDF does not match my document...

First I need help to pubish my document into images. I know how to publish, in this case a JPEG. The thing is that the image does not look like it should. For example: The entire label does not show on my JPEG, just half of it...even if I can see it on my publisher document. Even lines in my pruduct are missing... See the attached image!

 

My second problem concerns 3D PDF. When I publish into 3D PDF, my product looks selected on the pdf even if its not. If I go back to IPublisher and publish it again without any changes the pdf can look different. Sometimes one or two parts looks like they should and the rest looks like selected, but more often the entire product looks selected...

 

What am i doing wrong? Or whats wrong?

 

Best regards

Ia Svensson

Hy,

we tried it with Inventor Publisher 2012 German Win 7 64 Bit, same problem. We tried to change the options in the PDF template, no changes gave an correct result. We changed the materialof  the inventor part, no success.

We like the publisher und we woud be glad to have an 3dPDF for our customers as an result of the publisher export.

Having the same issues with 3D PDF by changing the colors in publisher sometimes fixes the 3D PDF

I can confirm the 3D PDF problems, and we are looking into that.

 

I'm not sure what's going on with your JPG output.  Can you send us a simple IPB file that shows the problem?  You can email it to me at jon.balgley@autodesk.com.

Any resolution to this problem yet?  I too am having color problems with 3D PDF.  I have projects created in Inventor 2011 which saved properly as 3D PDF with Publisher 2011.  However, when I converted them to Inventor 2012, loaded into Publisher 2012, then published as 3D PDF the colors are all pastels.

 

The attached file is an example - the entire assembly consists of polished Al, black paint, black plastic, white plastic, and steel.  The 'silver' colored part is from changing the color in Publisher to polished chrome.  However, I have some assemblies with thousands of parts that I do not want to 'paint' in Publisher.

I too am having the exact same problem.

 

Is there any solution to this or have Autodesk abandoned us?

 

Again.

" This is a known problem. It is a deficiency in the 3D PDF format itself,  this is as-designed, and a limitation of the format. However, development is aware of the issue, so they have done some changes in the code for SP2 and the output to 3D PDF is improved there. I do not have yet information when SP2 will be released.

John, (Autodesk guy)

when are you going to post again on this issue?  It has been nearly 3 months and nothing has been added to

help guide users on this issue.

 

thanks,

JL

Sp2 is now live and should address this issue. However, if you have a component change color/texture within a snapshot then you will not see the change in 3d PDF (This is a 3D PDF limitation)

Thanks,

I have quite similar problem, though.

 

I'm using Inventor 2011 and publisher 2011. In the inventor model, there is picture on the can, made of Decal -tool. It show normally in inventor and publisher, but picture doesn't show in 3dpdf. Why?

 

Is there similar service pack for Publisher 2011, at least I can't find it.

Dear Autodesk,

 

 I am having very similar problems, but I am publishing to the mobile format. I am running Publisher 2012 without any of the service packs (it is time consuming to get software downloads through our IT). Text is moving, colors are changing, and inserted images end up covering the models. To put it bluntly, the published instructions look nothing like what was produced in publisher.

 

I am interesting in purchasing publisher 2013, assuming these problems have been resolved. If you have been unable to do so, I will gladly take my business to one of your competitors. We are looking at moving all of our work instructions to this format, but have been disappointed primarily due to this deficiency.

Hi Jonathan,

 

Thanks for your post. As with any software package, the only way to experience updates and improvements is by keeping up-to-date with service packs, etc. that are released. We put a lot of effort into these updates to ensure enhanced workflow productivity and feature quality, and it would be worth the hassle of installing them.

 

Publisher 2013 has many new features and performance enhancements that it sounds like you'd be interested in. You can find all this information on our WikiHelp here: http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/Inventor_Publisher/enu/2013/Help/0152-What_s_N152

 

Thanks,
