Yes, it does work that way. And the PDF's ability to rotate the image
and do neat CAD things is lots of fun.
However, the size of the PDF becomes gigantic. Several of them in a
file can overwhelm an average PC's memory.
And it's way overkill for simply printing to hard copy...
But it is neat
Agreed! Importing articulating 3d for print is beyond overkill.
However, you do have the ability to produce the appropriate bitmap of the
appropriate rotation and view without going back to the modeling program
exporting from there.

Hello Art,
Can you clarify reliable? Prone to corruption, crashing, etc? After years of
using FrameMaker's internal drawing tool, we're going to adopt an external
diagramming tool. To keep the usability the same, we were going to use OLE.
I've seen the file size grow quite a bit (172k .fm7
How do you import them into FrameMaker? Do you link or what!

In Googling to verify the SolidWorks format which will import into Acrobat
8 3D or the Acro 8 3D Toolkit, I found the following link. I thought it
might explain better than I can:

Bottom line: If you bring a SolidWorks file into
Referenced graphic file would be pretty standard.
OLE isn't reliable, and copying the graphic in makes the files too large.

I just ended a year-long gig that included this, and the workflow we
developed was:
1. Get the free Solidworks viewer application. (There's a free
explorer tool that's also useful.)
2. From the Viewer, print the Solidworks file to an Acrobat printer
instance to create a PDF using the appropriate
These are not rendered, just the line drawings. Guess I should have said
that. Sorry!
I got another message offlist about changing my Distiller options. Duh!! I
did that, and the .tif in the PDF output from FM now looks quite good.
Thanks, Michael.
The process that Art suggests might be an
