![]() ![]() ![]() Once installed and ready to use, the extension will appear on the Installed tab of the Extensions & Updates page. Click to download the extension, and then restart Altium Designer when prompted. This extension is installed by default when installing the software, but in case of inadvertent uninstall, can be found back on the Purchased tab of the Extensions & Updates page (click on the control at the top-right of the workspace and choose Extensions and Updates from the menu). The PDF 3D export capability is enabled in Altium Designer with the installation of the PDF3D Exporter extension. In the case of PDF 3D files exported from Altium Designer, the embedded content includes the majority of the data viewable in Altium Designer’s own 3D view – including all tracks, pads, vias, polygons, etc., all components, and the full set of board layers. The result is a modestly sized, cross-platform 3D file format that does not require specialized 3D viewing software. U3D is natively supported by the PDF format and can be simply embedded (and compressed) in a PDF file for interactive 3D viewing in Acrobat Reader. The foundation of this new 3D capability is the industry-developed Universal 3D (U3D) format for computer graphic files, which has been standardized by the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) as Standard ECMA-363 - Universal 3D File Format. Progressively enhanced through subsequent versions of the Acrobat Reader, the high-level detail and configuration options produced by Altium Designer’s PDF 3D export is compatible with versions 9 and above. Interactive 3D viewing became possible for PDF files with the introduction of advanced 3D view capabilities in Acrobat Reader, starting with Version 7. Interactively view an exported 3D design in Adobe Reader – zoom, rotate and select what design elements you'd like to see. This interactive 3D format is accessible for everyone with a recent version of the ubiquitous Adobe ® Acrobat ® Reader. This is made possible through the use of Altium Designer's PDF 3D export capability. There are significant advantages in being able to bring this 3D capability to those outside the immediate design team, such as fabrication and assembly houses, and not in the least, customers. ![]() When the installation is finished you should be able to see and run the program.Altium Designer users have long enjoyed the ability to interactively view PCB designs in fully rendered 3D, which provides a unique insight into the real structure of the board design, its components and associated mechanical parts. ![]()
