With the introduction of a multi template PUBLISH mechanism, the Publish 3D V18.0 has new and improved features for the CATIA V5 user.
Publish 3D V18.0 supports CATIA V5 R18 to R24 (V5.V6R2014) and seamlessly publishes CATIA V5 data to Theorem’s Publish 3D suite of products, giving the CATIA V5 user the ability to publish PDF documents containing interactive 3D representations of their data (3D PDF).
In this release, Publish 3D function enhancements include the original TEMPLATE mechanism being replaced with the preferred PUBLISH mechanism. With the introduction of a Multi-template PUBLISH mechanism, the 3D data can now be written to one or many output PDF files with any additional meta data such as AVIs, hyperlinks and PowerPoint presentations.
V18.0 for Publish 3D also features improved processing of data groups. This simplifies the assembly tree along with an added option that provides control over how the sub-ordinate data is processed by controlling the tessellation quality. There has also been added control for the lighting, render and activate modes and extra support for the Theorem Unified Interface.
Theorem’s Publish 3D (recently rebranded from 3D PDF Publisher) easily creates and shares PDF documents containing embedded interactive 3D data published directly from native CAD data without the need for third party applications. Published interactive 3D models contained within a standard PDF document can then be viewed and interrogated. Components within assemblies can be turned on and off, shaded and rendered for technical authoring, and viewed as either a solid, wireframe or cross-section, all using the freely available Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Publish 3D for CATIA V5 supports 3D annotations and dimensions FTA (PMI) from CATIA V5 into 3D PDF as well as supporting model based definition (MBD) processes for downstream activities in manufacturing and for use by the supply chain. The working PDF document can be annotated, shared and additional media embedded. This could include text, PowerPoint files, spreadsheets, AVI movies and hyperlinks to additional online information.
