3DPDF panelized PCB bug?
« on: June 27, 2016, 11:45:35 pm »
Hello m8's

Just wondering if anyone has experienced this bug in Altium, exporting a 3DPDF file of a panelized PCB (using Embedded Board Array function) gives a blank board. But doing the same for a single board works just fine  :-//
Is there a solution for this?

Cheers

Turns out this is a known problem which will hopefully be fixed in future updated. Here is the email I got:

The Embedded Board Array is not currently supported by the 3D PDF feature. There is a feature request ticket with the Development Team requesting that this issue be investigated and resolved at the earliest opportunity.
One possible workaround would be to use a pseudo panel for the 3D PDF output, create a copy of the panel geometry, then export the original PCB as a STEP, then place a 3D Body in the pseudo panel and embed the exported STEP.
