Problem: overlapping 3d-views on drawings in a pdf
Has anyone found a solution for overlapping 3d-views on drawings in a pdf? The outline of a later 3d-view hides earlier 3d-views. This is what you get with ProE WF4 M160 and earlier: In NoHidden view there is no problem off course: Olaf Corten CAD/PLM Manager, Besi Competence Center - Other Business Applications Fico BV, Ratio 6, 6921 RW Duiven, The Netherlands Tel.: +31 26 3196215 Fax: +31 26 3196200 Mobile: +31 644548554 www.fico.nl This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

I love it when PTC says "Yeah, we meant it to do that." Really? I'd ask to see the spec (I was told to do this by the head of tech support at a user conference a few years ago whenever we get the canned response of "intended functionality"). If they can produce a spec showing that shaded views are intended to clip like that, you have to live with it. If not, it's a bug and needs to be fixed. Of course, who knows how long that would take, but it ought to be much faster than an enhancement.
A work around is to make the view a partial view and draw clipping path around the view. It doesn't seem to work all the time though and of course you must do that and then create the PDF and see what the result is.
