Im working on a website for my offroad products. I believe the customers will benifit greatly from an interactive 3d model of the parts. So I researched how to create a 3d PDF. This is a really awesome feature and more then what most companies offer. But now I would also like to add an animation to the saved Portable Adobe Document. Tried add the animation in Solidworks then saving the file and of course the animation didnt save with it. So how do you do it? Its got to be possible. Theres a play/pause animation button in the 3d PDF reader that opens the file...
I am not sure if this is directly possible as a Solidworks export but would be interested also in this process. That being said I currently add the multimedia to the PDF by using Acrobat Pro. After the PDF is exported you can go to the multimedia part of Pro and add your video or other media. This may be a way you could do it if it isn't possible through Solidworks. Only draw back is it makes for huge file sizes which leaves it unable to be emailed but for hosting on web it may be acceptable.
