Large SolidWorks 2006 assembly

I wanted to insert my u3d. file in microsoft word and then convert it into a pdf file. My u3d file is about 15mb. I am able to insert it in micorsoft word but can't create a pdf file. After starting the conversion it freezes. Is the file to big for adobe acrobat?

Hi ricardo,
Do you have an email address where I can contact you offline?

  • Adobe Acrobat 3D and SolidWorks 2006

    Hi there,
    I was just wondering if anybody else experiences problems with Acrobat 3D and SolidWorks 2006. When I try to convert 3D models from Solidworks 2006 I get an error message: The file contains no displayable geometry.
    Converting SolidWorks 2005 models causes no problems.
    I am grateful for any help.
    Thx
    Daniel

    Hi,
    Thx for your replys too.
    I put some sample files in the web, you can download them at:
    http://trshare.triumf.ca/~albers/
    The frequency tripler is an converted SW2005 file. (no colours)
    The BRF rotary mount files are a converted SW2006 file and a SW2006 sldprd file.
    The laser beam is a sw2005 file and the converted pdf file.
    I am using the programs on a Acer Notebook with a ATI X700 grafic card.
    Driver Provider: ATI Technologies Inc. (Omega 2.6.87)
    Driver Date: 22.11.2005
    Driver Version: 8.201.0.0
    XP SP2
    SW2006 SP2
    Adobe Acrobat 3D V7.0.7 Try out version
    I tried different things to convert and the strange thing is Acrobat 3D can convert my SW2005 files but not the SW2006. Are the SW settings so important when you try to convert them in the explorer with right click and than convert to pdf? Because SW isn't started and all necessary informations should be in the file. So maybe it is the way my SW2006 files are saved.
    I don't have my notebook with me at the moment but I will check the settings and put it also on the web folder for you.
    Thank you very much and have a nice weekend.

  • SolidWorks 2007 Files

    Hi,
    I just installed the trial version of Acrobat 3D. By reading some tech notes, I did a capture of a Solidworks 2007 assembly by doing a screenprint in the eDrawings viewer. When I eventually opened the assembly in 3D Toolbox, it came through as one object, i.e. I couldn't seem to move individual parts.
    How can I do this? (Please bear with me, I am a very new user.)
    Better question would be: when will Acrobat 3D support SolidWorks 2007 files? Or future SW releases for that matter? This is critical if we are to buy. Initial impressions look good.
    Thanks!
    -Dana D.

    To import Solidworks 2007 files directly (conversion, not Capture) and thereby preserve product structure, etc., simply download the updater for Acrobat 3D 7 from the Adobe web site and install the update. Acrobat 3D 7 + the online updater will convert Solidworks 2007 files.

  • Solidworks & Adobe

    I have been having a few issues when looking into using 3D models from Solidworks 2006.
    1 - Is it possible to set opacity so that it carries through to the final PDF? I'm currently exporting from Solidworks to STEP file and then from STEP File to U3D. I can set the opacity in Adobe Toolkit but then it doesn't carry through... any idea's?
    2 - Does anyone know of a more convenient way of using Solidworks 2006 files?
    3 - Does Adobe have any plans to release a compatibility patch so that it works with SW06 files?
    4 - Is it possible to export SW06 animations through to the final PDF?
    Your help is much appreciated

    We also are using step files form SW06 to adobe, we like the ease of use, and that everyone has it or can get the reader. I tried the basic file exports and found step to work the best because it retained the tree and parts. I have had to set a rotate on converstion because for some reason its flipping my parts over during the conversion, dont know why.

  • HP Pavilion with a fast clock

    I have an HP Pavillion running Windows 7 Home Edition.  It is a P7-1157C.   The clock is always fast.   I have configured it to go check the internet for internet time updates, but that does not work for long.   The computer OS clock can pick up at least 24 hours in the span of a day.  This happens whether the computer is off or the computer is asleep.  
    Any thoughts on how to fix this?

  • Note regarding ATI X1900 XT with Mac Pro, Leopard

    To all who are experiencing any of the frequently reported problems with the hardware/software combination listed in the subject heading:
    I purchased the ATI X1900 XT as an upgrade fro my Mac Pro in January. I never experienced any issues with the card in OS X Tiger, but several months ago I began to experience overheating issues in Windows XP (Boot Camp) when playing graphics-intensive games. The overheating caused visible graphics corruption/artifacts, graphics system resets and even spontaneous system restarts. The frequency and severity of these symptoms actually increased over time, leading me to believe that the card was either defective or that the overheating was causing degenerative/cumulative damage to the graphics hardware.
    I recently upgraded to OS X Leopard, and all **** broke loose. Immediately after upgrading, I began to experience frequent graphics corruption/artifacts (in the form of spurious horizontal lines), system lockups/freezes and spontaneous system restarts. None of these issues were present in Tiger. The system became completely unreliable and essentially unusable.
    It was initially a popular belief that Leopard's graphics drivers were somehow buggy or incompatible with the X1900 XT. After my experiences, I don’t believe that’s the case. I think that the issues reported are symptomatic of hardware, not software problems. Leopard is merely a catalyst. Leopard's increased leverage of OpenGL stresses the graphics hardware in ways that Tiger did not, causing an overall increase in graphics hardware temperature. I believe that the glitches/artifacts/system freezes/restarts that I experienced were not due to buggy drivers, but due to the graphics card overheating as a result of the increased load placed on it by Leopard.
    I brought my X1900 XT in to my local Apple store today and asked for a replacement. Fortunately, they had one in stock, and they gave me a new card on the spot. The technician was apparently well aware of the issues, and mentioned that they have had a lot of similar problems with new iMacs.
    Since installing the new card, I have experienced no graphics corruption, system freezes or spontaneous system restarts, either in OS X Leopard or in Windows XP gaming.
    I would urge anyone who is experiencing problems with the X1900 XT (in either Windows or OS X) to have their card replaced by Apple - assuming that their card or system is still under warranty, that is.
    I suspect one of two possible scenarios is true:
    Theory #1: The Rev 1 X1900 XT is inherently flawed and has problems with overheating, which is exacerbated in OS X by upgrading to Leopard. Due to Leopard's greater leveraging of OpenGL, there is increased thermal stress placed on the card relative to Tiger. The overheating is evident in Leopard as graphics corruption/artifacts, system lockups/freezes and spontaneous restarts. The Rev 2 X1900 XT has (theoretically) corrected the problems inherent in Rev 1.
    Theory #2. The thermal management system of the X1900 XT (all revisions) is inherently flawed. The card will slowly cook itself over time, and the effects are degenerative and cumulative. As the age of the card increases, so will the occurrence of graphics corruption, system freezes and spontaneous system restarts, especially when playing graphics-intensive games or running OS X Leopard.
    I sincerely hope that Theory #1 is the case. I’ll be watching my system closely as I continue to use the new card, and hopefully there will be no further problems with overheating.
    If theory #2 turns out to be true, then Apple has a huge PR nightmare on its hands, as each X1900 XT for the Mac is essentially a ticking time bomb that will self-destruct within months of purchase.
    The funny thing is, this isn’t the first time I’ve had graphics card trouble with one of Apple’s “professional” towers. I bought a G5 several years ago when they were first released. I had problems with the stock nVidia graphics card in the form of what came to be known as the dreaded “black screen of death.” This became a commonly reported issue, experienced by many owners of the G5 in its first revision. Apple replaced my card and the problem never reoccurred. I’m hoping that I’ll be as lucky this time around.
    I think it’s apparent that Apple’s batting average with graphics cards isn’t exactly stellar. It’s curious, considering that Apple offers a very limited selection of graphics options for their towers. One would think that by Apple only offering 3 graphics options, they would be able to have fairly tight control over the quality of the hardware, and plenty of time and resources to devote to testing. Unfortunately, I’ve had more graphics hardware-related problems on my Macs than any PCs I’ve ever used. That’s embarrassing, and Apple needs to do much better than this.

    I replaced my G5 Quad with a Mac Pro 8-core. The Mac Pro's thermal design is far superior to the G5's. The G5 Quad's liquid cooling system has a much bigger task (IBM doesn't publish the thermal dissipation numbers on their PPCs but I suspect they are high) than the more efficient Intel Xeons. The G5 liquid cooling units are troublesome and the issue is something I think Apple is quietly solving by replacing failed liquid cooled G5's (that are still under warranty) with Mac Pros (a very smart PR move). My primary concern when I switched to a Mac Pro was issues with the X1900 XT graphics card failure rates posted on the web and in these discussions. The very latest generation of the X1900 XT (July 2007) are reported to be more reliable. Many G5 owners are still reporting failed cards. Given the much higher thermal environment and the remarks in this thread, I can now see why. The interior of a G5, especially Quad, gets too hot for this ATi card. I had the nVidia GeForce 7800 GT in my Quad. That was a very good card. Still, the issues with the ATi x1900 XT may indeed be a thermal design issue that AMD may need to either address directly, or turn to a 3rd party solution.
    I installed a 3rd party cooling alternative, Arctic Cooling's Accelero S1. It's a passive system that replaces that hairdryer fan with a large heat sink. The package includes upgraded heat sinks for the power regulator (much beefier than the stock), and for each memory chip. The heat sink is a large conductive cooling assembly that uses 4 heat pipes. The vendor claims that using this system increases the case temperature by 1°C, which is easily handled by the system cooling system. So far, their claim appears to be valid. Since there's no longer a fan, you can imagine how quiet the system has become. The only installation hitch is that the black support clips were made for the PC version and the Mac Version adds a beefy support rail on the spine of the card. The workaround is to trim off the lower tang of the clips so they just rest against the support rail.
    After reading this, I'm tempted to add the "Turbo" option, a couple of high volume low speed fans that fit on the radiator. I'm trying to "stress" the system by running SETI@Home 24/7 while doing all the other work to see how hot and how loud I can get this system. So far, no disappointments. This is the quietest workstation I've ever worked on. Even when "hot", the fans are not loud. The passive cooling system seems to work very well. I left Star Wars-Empire At War up and running in the menu for hours one day and it didn't seem to suffer from any ill effects. I have owned this system for just over a month. I will add more thermal load after I crank the system memory up to 24 or 32 GB. If there are any real cooling issues, I will find out about them next summer. I really dread the prospect of plunking down another $2k for the nVidia 4500 FX (I really don't need the 3D audio support) to get comparable video support.

  • Features Mirrored upon Import into Acrobat 3D

    In order to bring SolidWorks 2007 assemblies into A3D, I have been doing a screen capture using the SolidWorks eDrawing viewer (unfortunately, no SW2007 support yet in opening files directly in Toolkit, even after installing the update - Hopefully version 8 will resolve).
    The parts in the assembly have extruded text molded in, which identifies the part. They look fine in eDrawings, but when brought into A3D, the extruded text comes through as mirrored. Not sure if other features are mirrored too, due to a symetrical part configuration, but the text definitely is.
    Any idea what is causing this and ,more mportant, is there a fix?
    This problem may be similar to the 30May2006 posting (How to mirror objects in A3D Toolkit), but didn't see any responses.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    I have application which call adobe live cycle service such as assembler service,form data integration service,reader extension service etc. in my application we set timeout as 30 min. when i call large files for assembling  and it looks like assembling service take more time to assemble. but after 30 min my application will time out but as i saw live cycle log it still process the old request.
    Is there anyway to set timeout for assemble service or  in general live cycle service other than pdfgeneration so that when my application timeout same time in server also that request should terminate

  • Question about scanned books

    i have dozens of scanned books that ive downloaded from internet some of them are 250 pages long
    i want to print some of in booklets and the larger ones god willing i will bind etc etc.
    the problem is that two there are two scanned sheets per page, i need an option on acrobat to split the pages in half. is there a easy work around to manipulate large pdfs
    (document assembly is allowed on the ebooks)

    Typically you might crop all the pages for odd and print or redax to a new PDF. Repeat the crop for the other side (even), then recombine them. I think I have read about some 3rd party products that will do what you want.
    In Acrobat, the recombination is the issue. It can probably be automated with JavaScript.

  • Generating 3d data

    I came across this on making a 3d plot with the 4th "w" dimension being used as an intensity.  I would like to do something like that to show heat intensity on an object that is instrumented.  I'm a little slow at finding a simple 3d program that I can use to model my object and output parametric xyz data.  I think if I can get the model in parametric xyz form, then I can come up with the intensity calculations.  Any suggestions on programs?
    I have SolidWorks 2006 at my disposal, but I haven't used it much.  The other engineers around here use it for mechanical design, but i'm the application guy.  Our floating seat license is always in use by someone so it is also a hard one to schedule time on.  Playing around in it, it seems that it may be a bit overkill from what I am needing.
    Can anyone help?
    I know this isn't a direct LabVIEW question but more like it is relating to LabVIEW.

  • "The 3d capture plug-in has been damaged..."

    This error appears after install on a ThinkPad T61p. Two similar ThinkPads in fact. Not on a desktop though. All running Win XP Pro with the same software. It has to be something peculiar to the ThinkPads, maybe the nvidia 570m graphics, driver, something. I've seen where other had this error but never saw a solution to it.
    I know you can still convert files even though the capture doesn't work. But the capture is nice when you want to get the colors and textures captured. It doesn't do that with conversions, unless there's a way I don't know about. Is there?
    Reinstalling after removal makes no difference. Installing with every service and extra thing disabled in msconfig, made no difference. The 3d capture plugin folder had the same size and files as a working installation.

    I'm having the same problem with SolidWorks 2008. I have the latest version of Acrobat 3D and it works fine with SolidWorks 2006 files. When I try the Print Screen method mentioned above, the only model I see in Acrobat 3D is the red, green, and blue axis that is in the bottom left hand screen of SolidWorks. So this method did not work for me.
    However, I have found a workaround for this whole problem. In SolidWorks, save the file as a ProE Part (*.prt) or any other format supported by Acorbat 3D (SolidWorks has many options). Then drag and drop this file into Acrobat 3D. It converts the file with no problems. Let me know if this works for anyone.
