Drawings with searchable text 1

[DavidDEC]

Hello,

has anyone figured out a way to generate a drawing into a format such as pdf, cgm, etc, in which you can search for text?

I use GSview for generating drawings in pdf, but it doesn't seem to recognise NX4 fonts.

I was able once to get this feature working by converting a drawing to hpg and then reading it into a trial version of some fancy viewer (Autovue or some other viewer like that). Anyways, I'd like to know if there's a simpler way with everyday use programs or with Teamcenter Visualization.

This works when you export a PDF file in NX6.

Just set the output to be Text.

If a file has text in it, then do a search in WINDOWS, and instead of entering the file name, put the text in the place below that "a word or phrase in the file:".
I have been doing that for a very long time when searching for text within a Unigraphics file.

Thanks a lot

I've tried the export in a workstation with NX6 and it worked!

We use mostly NX4, and hadn't even thought that in NX6 this feature had been made so easy.
