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?

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.

I look forward to the day when I can send PDF models to new customers and not have to explain how to install or use eDrawings. I know, you can send the embedded eDrawings viewer, but it is just one more thing to "confuse" the customer.

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.

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.

Seriously, though, 10, 25MB files are still "on the edge" a bit for email. Lotus Notes not a problem, but I'd hesitate about sending it to any Outlook clients.
