      HI All

      Just doing a ruby cleanup and took another look at Didier's automated 2d output script ado.rb
      http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/en_sections.html
      creates both axio (4 views) and ortho (6 views)(pages / scenes) and will save as dxf-dwg-eps-PDF-and images (jpg-png etc)
      The big breakthrough for me was to be able to merge the separate PDF files created into a single file as pages.
      PDFill PDF Tools (free) at http://www.pdfill.com/ will do this and a bunch more perfectly.
      It will also merge 3d PDF right along with any 2d PDFas well.
      I checked this using the demo version of SimLab 3d PDF.

      Some really good stuff not to be missed

        Now that's some good news! I've been using PDF Creator as a virtualprinter and it is very handy to merge even different kinds of documents together into a single pdf file but fails on 3D pdf.

        Thanks for the info (although would this topic not be better in the Corner bar > Feebies section?)

          Hi Gaieus

          Sort of an odd ball deal but IMO more script focused but move as you see fit.

          The 3d PDF that I used built a much larger file than Al Hart's offering for SU but had better images in all render modes.

          The PDF tools are just killer.

          Cheers
