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. -

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