ADOBE ACROBAT 3D VERSION 8 394 User Guide Rotate Specifies the angle of rotation for each axis. Translate Alters the position of the model in three-dimensional space, relative to the origin. Center Model At Origin Translates the entire model so that the center of its bounding box is at the origin [0,0,0] of the XYZ coordinate system. Customize a conversion preset for a 3D file type You can create your own conversion presets for different types of 3D files, making it easy to reapply all the individual options you use most often for a specific type of 3D file. Presets are tied to the 3D format. For example, if you create a preset for Catia 5 files, that preset appears only when converting Catia 5 files. You can create multiple presets for each 3D format. When you convert or capture a 3D file, the most recently used preset for that file type is selected. 1 Choose Edit > Preferences, and choose Convert To PDF under Categories. 2 In the central panel of the Preferences, select the 3D file format to which the custom preset will apply, and then click Edit Settings. Note: If you select a non-3D file type, the Edit Settings button may not be available or it may open a different dialog box. 3 Using the five tabs in the dialog box, specify the settings you want to include in the preset. 4 Above the tabs, in Description, type something that will help you to recognize the preset, such as its intended purpose or parameters. 5 Click the Add Preset icon . 6 Type a name for the preset, and click OK. 7 Click OK to close the Acrobat 3D Conversion dialog box, and, if necessary, click OK to close the Preferences dialog box. Note: You can delete a custom preset by reopening the Acrobat 3D Conversion dialog box, selecting the preset from the menu, and then clicking the Delete Preset button . Convert large assemblies Converting large assemblies to PDF can be both time-consuming and memory-intensive. For best results, create a tessellated representation of the assembly using PRC conversion settings. If the CAD file includes saved tessellation entities, Acrobat 3D uses these instead of creating a new one. Note: For you to complete this task, PRC settings must be available in the Format menu of the Acrobat 3D Conversion dialog box. 1 Choose File > Create PDF > From File, and select the 3D file or part. 2 In the Acrobat 3D Conversion dialog box, click the Import tab. 3 Click Assembly to select the appropriate file path for part files, and click OK. 4 From the Format menu, choose PRC Tessellation (Faceted). 5 From the Level Of Detail menu, select Medium. Select any other options, and then click OK. There is a Large Files conversion preset for large assemblies on the pop-up menu in the Acrobat 3D Conversion dialog box.
