If you would like to follow along, the 3D PDFs used in the video are attached below. I can’t clearly see the boundaries between edges because of the model’s color I want to see a section cut, but the viewport doesn’t include oneġ1. I want the SOLIDWORKS file and STEP file in the 3D PDFġ0. I don’t like the white background color of the viewportsĩ. I want users of 3D PDF, such as designers to add comments and suggestionsĨ. I want to add additional PMI to the 3D modelħ. I want to easily locate the components in the assembly to the BOM tableĦ. I want to see exactly which datum features are the datum symbols referencingĥ. I want the shop floors and suppliers who don’t use digital devices to have hard copies of my models in different viewsĤ. I want non-design teams that don’t have CAD software to view my modelsģ. I open the 3D PDF in Adobe Reader, but the 3D content does not show upĢ. This video will teach you the necessary knowledge of viewing a 3D PDF using Adobe Reader, and will address these 11 common concerns:ġ. Collaborate more effectively with everyone involved in your product development by using eDrawings software, the first email-enabled communication tool that dramatically eases sharing of product design information. 3D PDFs can be viewed in Adobe Reader, which is a free program available for download.Īlthough 3D PDFs are easily accessible via Adobe Reader, most of the time users are not taking advantage of 3D PDFs various functions and abilities due to the lack of training materials on this topic. eDrawings is a free viewing and publishing application for sharing and archiving 2D and 3D product design data. 3D PDFs are a great tool for those who might not have the SOLIDWORKS software to view 3D models and annotations.
