off topic: e-drawings, eps files, frame and pdf

[Jo Watkiss]

I've been slow to acknowledge some great ideas and suggestions.  Thanks
everybody.
Currently grappling with the transition from FM6 on XP to FM9 on Win 7.
No doubt there will be more questions to follow... :)

Jo.

Hi Jo,

one of more solutions, following with e-drawings and Acrobat 8 or 9 Pro
Ext.:

1. Open Acrobat 8 Pro 3D or 9 Pro Ext.
2. Open the drawing with e-drawings, move it in the position you like
it.
3. Push PRTSC and the graphic from e-drawings will save in Acrobat, you
can save it as u3d in PDF.
4. Import this in your FrameMaker file.

Other way:
1. Open the Solidworks original file with Acrobat 8 Pro 3D Toolkit,
Acrobat 9 Pro Ext. 3D Previewer
or Take DEEP EXPLORATION from Right Hemisphere. 
2. Now you can reduce objects and save it as u3d.
2. Import this in your FrameMaker file.

Add-On: If you like to set links in FrameMaker to views and animations
in you u3d and to create a 3D PDF, then take 
SQUIDDS 3D Communication Package (www.squidds.de/en/3dpdf)

Framers,  I know this is way off topic - but knowing how much knowledge
there is on here, I'm hoping somebody can point me to a good resource or
forum to help.

 

I'm trying to get vector images from Solidworks e-drawings into
FrameMaker and then to PDF.  However in the resulting PDF, the vectors
draw so slowly on the page that it is causing problems for our readers.
