NX for Design

Summary


Details

In the 3D environment, PDF output is not possible with the rendering style of the currently displayed model. Output as a static wireframe.

Reproduced Steps:

1. For example, set "Shaded with Edges" or "Wireframe with Hidden Edges" as the rendering style.


2. "File > Export > PDF“


Solution

Check the settings in “Customer Defaults > Gateway > Plotting/Printing > Plotting > General > Infer Edge Output". If “Infer Edge Output" is unchecked, this behavior works as designed. By checking "Infer Edge Output", you can output "Wireframe with Hidden Edges" and other states.


However, outputting each shading states are not supported.

Notes

It’s also possible to output "Dynamic Hidden Edges" as "Dashed" by "File > Preferences > Visualization > Rendering > Styles > Rendering Styles".

However, the color for the edge specified in Rendering Styles setting is not supported as well as shading.
