A 3D PDF add-on is available to complement and enhance Theorem’s (Staffordshire, England) CATIA V5 to Creo View visualization product, part of the company’s Visualize 3D range. According to Theorem, Visualize 3D enables CATIA V5 assembly, geometry and attribute data, including manufacturing information, to be published in a Creo View format, extending the use of 3D data throughout the enterprise and supply chain as well as providing input data for multiple downstream processes. The 3D PDF add-on allows CATIA V5 data to be published to a 3D PDF, along with the original Creo View output, from the same CATIA V5 source. A 3D PDF gives users all of the features of a standard PDF but with the added, interactive 3D representation of the CATIA V5 data that can be manipulated, marked-up and annotated.
