3D PDF

I would think this question has been asked a thousand times but my searches have not found an answer.

 

I need to create a 3D PDF with hyperlinks.

 

I have created 2D PDFs and DWFs directly from AutoCAD and the hyperlinks assigned to objects work well.

 

When creating 3D PDFs and DWFs there are no hyperlinks. I have used SimLab (Tetra4D) from within AutoCAD and also tried by opening the DWG with Bentley View.

 

My client has specified PDF and experience tells me there is no changing them to DWF but working solutions are the best and I am curious as to why the hyperlinks did not work in the 3D DWF.

 

Any guidance to creating 3D PDFs with hyperlinks will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

I tried one of the trials for 3D PDF printing from the Autodesk App Store (3D PDF Express).  It seems to create the 3D PDF nicely enough but did not include any hyperlinks that I added to my model.  I believe this is due to the PDF driver and not AutoCAD.  I do not have access to your driver but I suggest that  you start with the Developer's site to see if they can shed any light on this issue.  I do not see anything readily available about including hyperlinks in their web site.

Hi John,

I have posted to the Simlab forum as suggested  in hope of a response.

I am surprised that my searches have not found a solution. There also appears to be a lot of options that I can explore but I have not found one that specifically offers the feature I require.

I am disillusioned by Bentley View and that it creates hyperlinks to a URL but not a UNC. I have tested the UNC in many formats.

I may just have to try harder to convince my client to use NWD files and the problem disapears.
