- Maybe assembly/use is "a piece of cake", because of the size the unit is only "cupcake"? Looks like good times.

My company had problems with the bigger Solidworks files. We just converted the assembly file to a Parasolid, and Adobe accepted it. It is good to see that Adobe has found a solution.

arrr! you got me Bruce. spelling corrected. 10MB is big, but for some of the models I work with, that is a lifesaver. It's more than a pretty picture to. It's a real 3D model. you can measure it, rotate it, section it, and export parasolids. huge improvement and has really helped workflow.

Mike, that's what I had done initially as well. Even on smaller assemblies I was getting surfaces showing up that were not suppose to and parts coming in at the wrong locations. It's definitely been improved.

Do the recipients have to have Adobe 3D to do all that with the model? Or just the regular reader? Is is just publishing that you need the 3D license for?
