CAD, CAM, CAE interoperability

From drawing board to manufacturing plant, PDF can ease the flow of Computer Aided Design, Manufacturing, and Engineering (CAD, CAM, CAE) information. For example, you can quickly convert an entire assembly to a PDF that’s a fraction of the original file size while retaining geometric dimensioning and tolerancing and other product specifications.

By using Acrobat 3D, manufacturers and suppliers can open virtually any 3D CAD file without installing the original CAD application or a CAD translator. Import and view Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) from CATIA V5, I-DEAS, JT, NX, and Pro/ENGINEER files. Once the design is finalized, export geometry to a standard file format that can be reused in CAM applications to cut, build, and assemble the parts.

View product information for a 3D model

You can view Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) in the Model Tree and in the 3D model, if you imported it during PDF conversion.

1 Click the 3D model, and click the Model Tree icon

in the 3D toolbar.

2 In the Model Tree, click each view to see the PMI

associated with that view.

Export geometry from a 3D model

If geometry was retained during conversion, you can export it as IGES, STEP, VRML, or ParaSolid file formats, which most CAE and CAM applications can read.

1 Right-click the 3D model and choose Export Data

from the menu.

2 Choose a file type and click Settings to specify

options for that file type.

Combine files

Combine files from various sources into a single, merged PDF or an assembled PDF package of related files. For example, you might collect brochures, presentations, spreadsheets, and contracts into a cohesive sales proposal.

If you merge files into a single PDF, you can then add unifying elements to help tie the document together. For example, you can add a header or footer to the new file. Or renumber pages so that the page numbers that appear in the Page Navigation toolbar are consecutive across the merged files. You can also rotate, delete, and replace pages as necessary to create a cohesive look and keep the PDF up-to-date.

Participate in an email review

When you open the PDF attachment in an email review, a tracked copy of the PDF opens with a document message bar, a Send Comments button, and a Comment & Markup toolbar.

Important: If you’re prompted to connect to a server when you open the PDF, you’ve been invited to a shared review.

the desired tool.

form a line, arrow, or rectangle.

Forms

You can create a PDF form with interactive form fields from many different sources—an existing electronic document such as a Word document or a spreadsheet, a scanned paper document, or a template. You can then distribute the form through email or a shared server and track the forms that have been returned to you. Finally, you can easily collect and review form data and export it to other applications.
