All parts from CADENAS catalogs can be displayed as 3D solids in the widespread Adobe PDF format. Parts ad assemblies can thus be displayed in 3D on all computers worldwide with a free standard license from Adobe Acrobat Reader (as of version 7.0.8). It is therefore possible to get a realistic view of the part prior to purchasing it.

The application range of Adobe Acrobat 3D are 3D processes of coordination, in other words better cooperation with technical documents through the integration of 3D data, shorter development times due to clearer 3D designs and the avoidance of construction errors. A further area of use is the technical documentation. The 3D design data can now be displayed on any desktop without the use of CAD applications and the preparation of the CAD data for marketing and technical documentation is easy as pie.

Compare also Section 3.1.2.1.2.5.3, “Export PDF datasheet ”.

Via the Export menu, or the respective toolbar, select File -> Others -> PDF (Only 3D).

-> The Export in PDF (Only 3D) format window opens.

Some setting options of the Acrobat Reader can be performed in the dialog box.

Under Destination file, define the name and storage location of the file.

Details on the tabbed page Export Options can be found under Section 3.1.2.1.2.5.6.1, “"Export options" tabbed page -> Export accuracy ”.

Open the PDF file.

License

In order to be able to export CADENAS parts from PARTsolutions as 3D PDF, you need a license for the Acrobat interface,but not a full license for Adobe Acrobat 3D.

QR code (Quick Response) is available as export format. Troublesome typing of links and information is not necessary anymore. This feature can well be used in print catalogs. So CAD models can directly be downloaded from a print catalog in one single step.

In order to export the QR Code for a single project proceed as follows:

Call: Export menu -> Export in file -> Others -> QR Code

Export format: QR Code

Settings on tabbed page QR options:

Information used in the input fields Base link, Link options and Text are embedded in the code. Part parameters such as $NN., $NT., $NB., $ALL_VISCOL. (all visible parameters), $ALL_COL. (all parameters), $ProjectPath. (project path) can be used.

There are two basic settings:

Settings on tabbed page Export Options: See Section 3.1.2.1.2.5.6.1, “"Export options" tabbed page -> Export accuracy ”.

Batch export

You can export the QR Code for complete directories:

-> The Export files dialog box opens.

Select the export mode Export files.

"Default options" tabbed page Select the format QR Code.

"View / Export" tabbed page Under Export select the target path and possibly adjust the presettings under Name of exported files.

If in a pre-process eClass Advanced attributes has been enclosed in the project you can now export this information in the form of a XML file.

"Export" menu -> "Export in file" -> "Others" -> "eClass Advanced"

-> The respective XML file enclosed to the project is exported.

Excerpt from XML file:

... 
<FEATURE>
       <FTEMPLATE>
           <FT_ID>0173-1#02-BAD291#007</FT_ID>

Details on how to import eClass Advanced information can be found under Section 4.7.2.1.15.2, “ Import eClass XML file... ” in eCATALOGsolutions Manual.

Export formats "Others"

In this section you can find the following formats of the Others menu item. At each format the available tabbed pages are listed, where you can perform settings. With click on the link you will reach the respective section.

3.1.2.1.2.5.6.1. "Export options" tabbed page -> Export accuracy

On the Export options tabbed page you can adjust the Export accuracy.

Export accuracy

In the list field select the desired accuracy:

• Current selection

• Low

• Medium

• High

• Very high

Before the export the part is calculated with the set level of detail.

The function is identic to the level of detail option in PARTdataManager, but here only temporarily for the export.

3.1.2.1.2.5.6.2. "Cross-section" tabbed page

Cut part Cross-section Cut plane: In the list field, select YZ plane, XZ plane or XY plane + or - (mirror-inverted display of cut) Displacement of sectional plane: In the input field, enter the desired displacement. (The numerical value corresponds to the measuring unit of the part.)

"Cross-section" tabbed page

• Quarter cut

  In order to create a quarter cut, activate both the checkbox at Cross-section, as well as at Quarter cut.

  The settings are the same as for a cross section.

3.1.2.1.2.5.6.3. "Transformation" tabbed page

On the tabbed page Transformation, you can adjust the axis orientation and scaling for the exported part.

3.1.2.1.2.5.6.4. "Reduction" tabbed page

On the tabbed page Reduction, you can not only specify a certain number of triangles, but also the required result quality.

• Default: Reduces to the predefined number of triangles. If the current number of triangles undershoots the predefined count, no reduction will be made.

• Light: Light reduction. Great for a simple reduction of the face count of Parts. The topology will not be changed. Circles will be approximated by many faces.

• Medium: Medium reduction. Great reduction of the face count of any Part. The topology will not be changed. Circles will be approximated by less faces.

• Rough: Rough reduction. Great reduction of the face count of big or highly triangulated parts. Can destroy the topology of small parts and can lead to edged circles.

3.1.2.1.2.5.6.5. "Filter" -> Geometry tabbed page

In the Geometry section you can perform the following settings optionally:

Export draft as sweep: Split pattern: Convert holes:
