3D PDF Export

Pro/ENGINEER creates the exported file based on PDF v1.6. Adobe Acrobat v7 and later support U3D graphics. Universal 3D (U3D) is a 3D graphics format developed by Intel and the 3D Industry Forum (3DIF) for sharing 3D models and drawings on the Web and in common office applications. In order to reduce the file size for quick downloading and fast screen rendering, most of the engineering data associated with the original drawing is eliminated, also protecting IP.
