[Tex/LaTex] How to i import a 3D SolidWorks Model into the PDF using LaTeX

3dpdfpst-solides3d

Acrobat Adobe supports 3D PDFs to be included into LaTeX.

I could use another tool to create a PDF and import that PDF into my build, but i would rather use a package o include a solid works model directly via my latex compiler.

The result schould look like one of the results on the Adobe Demo page. Including the users ability to freely rotate the Unit.

Best Answer

If SolidWorks can export the model to either u3d or prc (preferred) file formats, you can embed that into your document using the media9 package.

If, however, only PDF with the embedded interactive model can be exported, you may extract the u3d or prc data into a standalone file using pdftk and a text editor. Instructions are given in another answer.
