3D PDF publish

Now 2D PDF publish is included in the coming release of Vault, I cannot wait to get the 3D version in it as well.

Let the creation task be handled by job processors or local if selected.

3D PDF Publish is a really important feature

Nearly all export functions now are part of the Inventor Server, accessible by Vault Job Processor, but one of the most wantedt is missing: 3d PDF

It's highly recomended to get this feature in a coming version of Inventor Server.

It would be great to have this feature. To inteact with other people it is easier to use 3D-PDF.

When I export a 3D PDF, I have the option to attach the STP file. Why not add the 2D PDF as another attachment? This way one file can satisfy multiple audiences without the need to download software specific for DWFs.

• All of the individual elements are already in existence. This idea is just to combine them automatically when an item gets released.
• A 3D PDF communicates the gist of what's in the model for those who cannot read 2D drawings or cannot open 3D STP files, and has a significant advantage over a DWF: everyone and their mother can open a PDF.
• The 2D PDF is attached for what's contractually being communicated to build.
• The 3D STP is attached for who's programming the part on a CNC machine. 

One file with features to satisfy any audience.

Be able to export exploded model to 3D-PDF.

Presentations are a great feature, but theres a lack of export-formats. This limitates the usage of presentasions in collaboration enormous.

The ability for Vault to version 3D PDFs would be welcomed.  We want to use them, yet storing multiple version of the 3D PDF is not a preferred situation.  The ability to have them version or revise like 2D PDFs, in my estimation, is a JDI instance.

Plan A: As our designs get more robust, we see the value in creating 3D PDFs for our customers.  Vault doesn't currently generate 3D PDFs, yet having a versioned/revision level PDFs created through Vault would be very valuable to have. Giving us the ability to do this, as we currently do with 2D PDFs, is definitely a big wish list item, if not a JDI case.

Plan B: Allow us to create the 3D PDF outside of Vault, yet give us the ability to check in the new 3D PDF, have Vault recognize a 3D PDF of the same name, and automatically version the 3D PDFs based on the date of creation.

Either way, I'm hoping I've conveyed these ideas clearly enough for future consideration.  Thank you.
