armstadt, April 2, 2015 – PROSTEP presents version 5.1 of PDF Generator 3D. It not only allows the conversion of 3D models from the latest versions of CATIA V5, Siemens NX 10, Autodesk Inventor 2015, Solid Edge ST7, Creo Parametric 3.0, Parasolid 27, SolidWiorks 2015 and JT 10 but, thanks to PLM XML, also enables PLM structures to be transferred directly to PDF documents, thus allowing an even greater degree of integration in enterprise processes.

The new version of PROSTEP PDF Generator 3D offers a number of improvements when reading in and processing CAD data from CATIA, Creo and NX, as well when displaying PMI information from SolidWorks. Textures from Autodesk Inventor and SolidWorks are now also displayed correctly. Furthermore, the new version can be used to import and visualize movement patterns from Dassault Systèmes applications like CATIA and DELMIA directly in 3D PDF documents. This makes the visual communication of manufacturing and assembly information easier.

The new version of PROSTEP's server solution for creating 2D/3D PDFs is now available. Further information at www.pdfgenerator3d.com
