3D PDF is a portable document format, independent from application software, and operating systems, and can be shared very easily. ProtoTech has developed various plugins to export 3D PDF (PRC) data from AutoCAD / Inventor / Revit / NavisWorks / Max / Maya / SolidWorks and Fusion 360. These plugins export 3D PDF (.pdf) file by traversing native data structure.

Updates of this Release

• Added support for Autodesk® AutoCAD® 2018
• The entities in the model tree in the exported PDF now are sorted under respective layer nodes

This enhancement will provide following benefits:
