<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Mechanical,
Manufacturing, Service and Tech Comm personnel are talking to a supplier about
a new piece of software called 3DVia Composer. It will take CAD drawings from
SolidWorks and allow each of us to create 3D images per our individual needs.
In my case I need to create 3D mechanical drawings that show how to fix certain
aspects of our products. (Apparently we don't have to be able to use the CAD
program to do this.)</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">According
to the Frame 9 manual, I can use U3D files in Frame and use "Save as PDF"
to create files with a 3D image. </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The
3DVia guys sent me some simple samples and I couldn't get them to work as 3D
images.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Compounding
this is the fact that when I create the Service Manuals, I can't use "Save
as PDF" because I need to accommodate files with different paper sizes in
the book file (the "Print Book" then Distill option failed the 3D
test as well).</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I've
downloaded a trial for Frame 10, but before I install it, I thought I'd try this
List for help. Frame 9 suits my purposes very well and I'm not a great believer
in updating just for the sake of it. Besides, as a single seat server version
of 3DVia Composer is at least $8,000, the fewer other updates we need, the
better chance we have of getting management onside.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Does
anyone out there use 3D images in their PDFs? If so, how do you do it? Any tips
you could pass along would be appreciated.</span></font></p>
