Hi,
I have used the iPad eDrawing viewer app previously with SolidWorks-generated 3D eDrawings, but it is not working now. I am using eDrawings Pro, version 3.3.1 (current as of today), on an iPad 3. My issue is with model-scaling in the AR (augmented reality) part of the app. My models are generally quite dimensionally large (100m), so they must be scaled down quite a bit in order to see them within the AR viewer. I tried to scale them within SW before exporting, but SW has no function to generally scale down a part or assembly, including all sketches. I really need to see the sketches in relation to the model. I realize I can scale sketches, then scale the model, then export, but this is quite impractical, due to number of sketches and number of models.
In practice, I open the file in the viewer app, and it shows up fine. I set out my paper target and click on AR, and I can now see a teeny bit of the huge model, locked onto the target. Great so far. I select the scale button, and change the scale from 100% to 5%, hit enter, and the value is accepted but the view of the model does not change at all.
Any ideas?
did some more checking, turns out you can only scale a model in AR when there is a solid body or surface body in it. For some reason, sketches that are visible in the non-AR part of the app vanish from view when you activate AR. Is this a glitch?
Here's a revised file with some of the model plus sketches.
In summary, sketches are dropping out from view in the AR part of the iPad viewer, and this is a needed part of the functionality. Please let me know if perhaps I've just turned something "off"! thanks.
