        the 3dPDF is vectors and the text is rastor, so you may need to use 3dText, unless there a hybrid mode setting...

            Hello Malaise,

            I tried to test if there is a workaround.

            A label's text is a kind of "face camera" object.
            If you use the 3D Text tool, you can make a component and choose "always face camera" in the Component Window.

            Sadly Simlab can't transfer this function to a PDF. You can animate every single object, but you can't constrain it to face the camera.

            I suggest you to draw a vectorial number near every group/component of your model and add a fixed text area (with the PDF template window of Simlab) with a corresponding numbered legend.
            As alternative you can use a coloured legend, if your components are painted with an unuque colour.

            hire me: http://www.nonsolo3d.it/ !

              Hello Matteo

              I almost have the same idea, "Numbers" and a side list. Thanks for this confirmation.
              I go further. 😛

                For no price DesignSpark Mechanichal (free VO, VF ) import export SKP, export PDF 3D! 😉

                Measure tool of the PDF is not visible! Must the Pro version of Viewer PDF necessary ?
