3D PDF Publishing

What is it? Autodesk has finally integrated the capability to export 3D PDFs from Inventor. Users can now export their models in 3D PDF format to be viewed in Adobe Acrobat Reader. There are also options to create custom 3D PDF templates to change the arrangement of exported elements in the PDF.

Why I’m excited. This feature ties in with a post from a couple weeks ago, 3D PDF is a feature that has one of the most views and kudos on the IdeaStation and as such it’s a feature I know the entire community is excited about.

3D PDF is a file format that allows users to not only view model representations, but to zoom, pan and revolve models within the PDF. It’s a powerful viewing tool that requires no more than Adobe Acrobat Reader, which many people already have. This allows users to share files with whomever they please without worrying about file compatibility and eliminating the hassle of downloading proper CAD viewing software. This improves communication between all parties involved and allows for a better flow from design to approval to production.

Autodesk Inventor Model States
This guide explores Autodesk Inventor Model States, focusing on their evolution from Level of Detail (LOD), the role of the primary model state, and their application in assembly environments. We highlight Model States' advantages in protecting intellectual property, improving design transportability, and providing precise information to stakeholders. The integration of Model States is deemed a game-changer, offering efficiency and enhanced capabilities to both seasoned and new Autodesk Inventor users.
What is Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Why You Need It
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a branch of fluid mechanics that models the flow of fluids (such as liquids, gases, and plasmas) using computers.  It enables engineers to simulate and analyze fluid-related problems like how air flows over an aircraft wing as it travels at hypersonic speed, how to build the most efficient gas turbine, […]
