STAFFORDSHIRE, UK, Dec 4, 2018 – Theorem Solutions has announced the release of the latest Creo-3D PDF publisher from the Publish 3D product range.
Theorem’s Publish 3D– 3D PDF products enable the publishing of 3D Creo data directly from within the design application in to an interactive 3D PDF document format, or an HTML5 output.
V21.3 supports Creo 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 and has a number of new features and enhancements, including:
- The processing of display Curves shown in a Combined State. When displaying a layer state within a combined view, generally only the solid and annotations are processed to PDF. This will also process any curves which are needed for downstream activities (engraving or welding positions etc.)
- Support for the translations of Offset Cross Sections, which are used to help simplify the component display.
- Improvements to Layer Visibility and Combination states, which help improve the way geometry is displayed, ensuring less confusion for the person viewing it.
- Addition of UI Creo Read Instance argument, giving the user more options when processing the file. This will help the user present the PDF display in a manner suitable to them.
The published PDF document contains embedded interactive 3D representations of the native Creo data (within pre-defined templates), offering greater levels of Intellectual Property (IP) protection with support for separate passwords to control either the access to the document as well as separate passwords to enable any editing of the 3D PDF output.
The Publish 3D product supports model based definition (MBD) and 3D annotations and dimensions (PMI) from Creo into the 3DPDF format.
Anybody with access to the freely available Adobe Reader, either on a PC, tablet or smartphone can access the interactive 3D data and are able to view, mark up and interrogate the document without the use of specialist CAD software. As 3D PDF is an ISO standard, the technology is easily integrated and can effectively become the protocol for easy, seamless document creation and communication.
Theorem’s strategic partnership with PTC ensures that there is parallel development between the latest releases of Creo, and Theorem’s Publish 3D products, allowing Theorem to continue to provide publishing solutions for the Creo community.
