    Default 3D PDF export - reversed annotations

    Hi Guy's, this has been driving me nutts for a 2 days. Attempting to move detail drawings to 3D PDF to view from our production ERP system.
    I've applied annotations to the model and orientated to the desired view (e.g. FRONT in the model tree) and saved the camera view. Works ok.
    After exporting to 3D PDF using the stock format and my own, the annotations are reversed yet the camera view is correct.

    I have created a new view and applied with the same result.
    Also edited the styles, 3DA

    No Joy!

    Dims are untidy, don't judge. lol

    I haven't created any 3D pdf's yet. Can you rotate the view in the pdf? If you post the files, I could try it in 2023. Use pack-n-go to zip it.

    Thanks Ed.
    I can't share the model in the above post but I've done the same in another.
    Oddly enough one view is ok, (linear dims) yet the diameters are reversed.

    Sanity check
    FYI - 3Di PDF and MIL-STD 31000 are being implemented by Defence so this may be useful in the future for some.

    I installed an Autodesk add-on from ProTech 3D PDF
    I need to config the template. lighting and fonts but

    Exact same part with Anark, the default 3D PDF converter.

    I tried opening the pdf in Adobe, Kofax and Bluebeam and none of them can display the part. Kofax can't even open it. I get an error "unsupported u3d format". I tried generating a new pdf from the ipt and get the same results. I tried creating a 3D pdf from one of my ipt's and got the same results. I guess there is something wrong with the 3D printer driver.

    Thanks Ed.
    I'm confident now, there's glitch in the translation. I appreciate you taking the time to help.

    Anark replied to my support request and will be looking into it. Prompt response which is welcome. I'll post an update if more progress is made.

    I'm a little surprised no one is into MDB (model based definition) and 3D PDF's.

    Since I wasn't getting any output, I put in a tech call. They were able to duplicate the issue and are working on it. Hopefully, they will issue a fix soon.
