Creo Parametric13.4.0.0 now includes an enhancement to the 3D PDF export capabilities. With this release you have an additional export option, 3D PDF (pdf).
The exported 3D PDF includes your model, combination states, part and assembly-level PMI. On export, the system automatically associates your model with the part or assembly 3D PDF template. These templates include:
• A 3D view window where you can rotate, pan, zoom, and explore your model through the PDF document. This includes PMI associated with that combination state. You can also select from several Render Styles: Illustrated, Solid, Transparent, and Solid Outline.
• A view part list with cross-highlighting in the 3D view window.
• View thumbnails to quickly cycle through and select the combination state that the 3D PDF consumer would like to interrogate.
• Model information like author name, file name, and date.
• Dynamic edit of the approver or reviewer name and signature areas. These can be edited and saved by the consumer of the 3D PDF dynamic area. Notes can also be edited and saved by a downstream consumer of the 3D PDF.
• Customization option to include your company logo.
