3D PDF view keyboard shortcuts
nick205 - 8/11/17 at 09:10 AM

Morning,

A customer has sent me a 3D PDF file to look at. The file opens OK and I can rotate the object on screen.

Are there any keyboard shortcuts to get specific views of the part - e.g. top, side, bottom etc?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Nick

No joy with that I'm afraid!

Googled for help as well, but nothing found yet.

Not that I know of.

If you find anything of use, let me know. I often send 3D PDFs and they are hard to navigate around at the best of times

Sorry - still not found a way of doing it!

I was lucky work wise in being able to return to an engineer and ask him to produce orientated views direct from the CAD model. It got me around the issue yesterday, but still annoyed that I can't do what must be possible somehow within the 3D PDF itself. Used to b an engineer and use 2D & 3D CAD software daily, but been away from that for 15 years now.
