Hello, my name is Thom Tremblay from Concepts and Design.
00:12
This course is on a modern approach to creating documentation.
00:17
The learning path for this course will look at annotating a 3D model and sharing the annotated model,
00:24
analyzing tolerance relationships in an assembly and then sharing the results of that analysis.
00:32
This course will be Part 3 in the series.
00:36
In it, we'll be focusing on sharing the annotation through various file types, viewing those file types,
00:44
we'll also export the model in a 3D CAD format that supports 3D annotation.
00:49
Then we'll bring annotation and documentation full circle by seeing how we can use 3D annotation to shortcut the 2D documentation process.
01:02
After cleaning up the annotation, making sure that the notes that I want in the individual design views are only in those design views,
01:10
and then removing extraneous design views, I'm ready to leverage the 3D annotation in new ways.
01:17
Switching to the Annotate tab, you can see the Export panel on the right.
01:22
This panel has several tools we'll begin by using Export to DWF.
01:29
The DWF format has been around for years and is a great lightweight way to exchange CAD data.
01:37
We can select the options and then pick Publish, choosing where we want our file to go.
01:44
When it's complete, we can see the view of the file with the annotation in place.
01:57
Returning to Inventor, we'll now use 3D PDF output.
02:02
We can choose the file properties that we want.
02:06
We can choose what design view representations are in place, set the file name and click Publish.
02:15
Autodesk Inventor will then generate the 3D PDF.
02:20
And when the PDF is available, a PDF viewer can be used to open the model,
02:26
we can change which views are being presented and very easily access the information that's included in the 3D PDF.
02:37
Returning to Inventor, we'll select the CAD format tool.
02:42
This will allow us to export to any number of formats including neutral CAD files for nearly every system,
02:49
as well as the file format we will choose which is step.
02:54
Choosing the options button, we can go and choose the classification of step.
02:60
We have the option of Step 242 which gives us output including annotation.
03:07
We'll save this file and be able to pass it on to other users.
03:13
Finally, let's create a new 2D drawing file.
03:19
We can place our view,
03:26
and with the right click, we can select Retrieve Model Annotations.
03:33
The 3D annotations tab will give us the ability to turn off hole notes, dimensions, surface callouts, or feature frames individually.
03:48
If we leave all of them on and click OK, we can see that 3D annotation will automatically be added to the 2D drawing view.
