Hi danperk, I thought that Acrobat supported 3DM files directly...

I see now in your original message you mentioned IGES format. There is a concept of a "level" in IGES which is like a layer. I'm not sure yet if the software library that I'm using for IGES is set up to associate a color with a level instead of an object though.

Maybe 3DM is something that you have to enable. If you can enable it that will probably be the way to go.

Thanks for the link danperk, it's the cheapest so far :)

Yes Michael, I know styles will work as layers and I know it will work seamlessly, we're waiting dude............we're waiting.

Cheers

It'll also cook your breakfast and do your taxes!

Maybe in v30 ... ;)

That the Acrobat reader can dimension?---I will be busy for a while!

The animation of the different Piston's pieces above are made inside Acrobat or in another prog?

Hi Pilou,
The animation is done within Acrobat, it is a very powerful communication tool, if you search 'Acrobat 3D' on youtube there are a few videos there.

Cheers

I was just kidding Brian

Pilou - You can make animations in the 3D Toolkit that comes with Acrobat 3D. It uses standard keyframe approach.


Oops, sorry Danny, same post.

Thx for precisions! :)

Just to make things clear, Version 8, or Acrobat 3D as it was called,
had the 3D Toolkit App., which was supplied by Right Hemisphere.

Acrobat 9 Pro Extended no longer has 3D Toolkit, it comes with an App.
called 3D Reviewer which is an Adobe product. It is missing some of the
functionality that 3D Toolkit had. This is probably why the price is lower,
and probably why 3dm import is missing.:(

You can still do animation, explosions and other functions but Version 8 was
a much more complete tool. You can also use Right Hemisphere's Deep Exploration
software, but it's quite expensive.

Thanks danperk, I did not know they removed that part of it in v9.

Display built in MoI 2 Beta and exported to Step file then imported into Adobe Acrobat 9 Extended
and saved as a secured PDF.

Great work on Version 2 Michael!!
