Autodesk Civil 3D software is a design and documentation solution for civil engineering that supports building information modeling (BIM) workflows. By learning to use Autodesk Civil 3D, you can improve project performance, maintain consistent data, follow standard processes, and respond faster to change.
Issue:
How to plot 3D objects from AutoCAD to a 3D PDF to maintain visual fidelity.Solution:
There is no option to create a 3D PDF in AutoCAD-based products. However, two alternatives are available.Create a 3D DWF:
- Use command PUBLISH in AutoCAD.
- Select file format dwf or dwfx.
- In the dialog, delete all layouts and models which are not needed.
- Check '3D DWF.'
- Click button 'Publish.'
​Use Autodesk Design Review to open DWF/DWFx files. The 3D drawing can be zoomed and rotated easily.
Use Bentley View:
This viewer can open both MicroStation files and AutoCAD files. Once open, the viewer can plot a 3D PDF file.
