3D PDF
The ability to create 3D PDF's from inventor. I don't want to bu publisher just to create a 3D PDF or any other 3rd party application. A lot of customers are requesting this now, and dwf isn't the answer, most people have adobe non-cad and cad users, where as they don't have dwf viewer and cant download it.
If I could give this 10000 kudos I would do it. Its absolutely pitiful that Publisher has 3D pdf capabilities, but they wont put it in Inventor. I use dwf, love it and wish everyone would use it. Thats not the problem. The problem is we have government contracts and the contacts that we have cant just load software on their computers. They dont have Design Review, but they already have Adobe loaded and that is what they want. They tell me the dwfx is "supposed" to work without installing the viewer, but nobody I know can get that to work either.
I understand that there are 3rd party apps out there that will do this, but we are wanting this to be included with Inventor.... not purchased seperately. They already have this ability in one product (Publisher), so it cant be a some licensing issue between AD and Adobe.
Some of my customers often wants to have 3D PDF files. I can make it via my Solidworksprogram, but then i first had to convert the model to Solidworks.Then i have to adjust all the colors, etc, etc, beafore i make the 3D PDF file. In Solidworks i click the file, and save as menu. I choose Adobe Portable Document Format (pdf), and then i click on the save as 3D PDF option.
This take to long time and have many drawbacks. I can mention discspace and duble up with files. I would like to have this option in Inventor too. Then i dont had to have the Solidworksprogram anymore, and It will save me for a lot of work.
3D PDF export should be a built in feature of Inventor. There are well of a 1000 posts on this topic, so I feel that Autodesk should take some action. Other vendors (e.g. PTC) offer this function. Autodesk users will have to rely on third party solutions. These solutions are volnurable as they may be incompatible when the tools are upgraded.
I wish we also get an option to export or not export layers when we create a PDF from the Drawing Sheet, sometimes is annoying have the layer panel showing every time we create a PDF, I know there others option to work this around but come on, just an option to turn them on and off.
I don't know if this Idea have been requested, if not I will create one.
