I am familiar with and appreciate the current DWF file features.
Does Autodesk additionally provide or plan to provide a way to convert 3D DWG files to 3D PDF files?

REASON:
My manager stated an AutoCAD competitor's 3D PDF capabilities were impressive.

Any views or experiences are appreciated.

You can just create a 3D view in autocad and plot that to a PDF. Or are you talking about something else?

Also, you can plot to a 3D DWF, which is better IMO. When you open the file in Design Review (which is a free download to anyone), you can rotate it and cut sections through it.

Buy Adobe Acrobat 3D which does all that too and almost everyone already has a viewer.

Some people think the grass is always greener on the other side.
Has (s)he actually looked at a 3d dwf? It's just as good IMO, but much, much cheaper.
