If you have a U3D file, no need to have the CAD program that created it.

Is it possible that the U3D file you are trying to insert in Acrobat is 
empty or invalid? Try opening the U3D file in other applications, e.g. if 
your CAD application supports U3D import, or in other applications (such as 
Deep Exploration). I don't know of free U3D viewers other than the sample 
U3D player available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/u3d .
