ClientGraphics to 3DPDF

[josh.nieman]

Is it possible to create ClientGraphics objects such as in the API samples, drawing text, cones, lines, triangles, etc...

_AND_ have them show up in an exported 3D PDF?  So far I've been unlucky.

The ClientGraphics sample from the help are working very well. I think that's not possible to export it. You can make screenshots.

@josh.nieman,

Unfortunately, Client graphics are not supported to export to 3D PDF. Please log this wish list at idea station using below link.

Thanks and regards,

Lame.

My previous request to get support for model annotation symbols in assemblies was met with a suggestion to try ClientGraphics to make my own labels.

Finding out that these don't export to a 3D PDF is pretty lame.  We're certainly not about to deliver the full Inventor models to customers and vendors as product documentation.

Thanks for the quick response.  I've submitted here: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideas/3d-pdf-support-for-custom-client-graphics/idi-p/856372...
