Publish 3D - 3D PDF Publishing
Publish interactive 3D PDF documentation from native CAD
Publish 3D is a 3D PDF publishing solution for designers using CATIA, Creo, NX or for engineers wanting to extend the use of their JT data to create interactive 3D documentation. Publish 3D solutions are based on the original Adobe and vendor specific technology, making it fully compatible with Acrobat and native CAD systems.
Main Features
Improved Internal & External Communication
Publish 3D allows you to make even better use of your engineering product data and encourages rapid decision-making.
Reduction in Product Development Errors
Improved product and process quality, increased overall productivity, and improved security when collaborating with business partners.
Interactive 3D Data Published Directly From Native CAD or PLM
A simple to use and automated publishing process, for users publishing 100’s or 1000’s of documents a day.
Flexible Licensing Options
Broad range of configurations and packages to support small or large enterprise use. Flexible licensing makes 3D PDF affordable and cost effective.
3D PDF Interactive
Key Features of 3D PDF Interactive:
- ‘Save as’ launched from within the CATIA V5, NX and Creo Parametric menu system
- Processes an active representation of the CATIA V5 data
- Generates either PDF with single 3D view content or a template based PDF documents with a mixture of text and 3D content
- Processes 3D geometry & assembly information plus PMI & annotations as well as properties, captures and views
Licensing: FlexNet single user node locked or concurrent user floating license
3D PDF On Demand
Key Features of 3D PDF On Demand:
- Processes previously saved representation of CAD data
- Generates either PDF with single 3D view content or a template based PDF documents with a mixture of text and 3D content
- Ability to simultaneously generate multiple PDFs from a single source
