I am on NX6
Following issue occurs when I export a Drawing Sheet to a Acrobat PDF Document:
Some of the bodys are set with a translucancy, becasue they represent a Glass or Plexi component.

I can create Views and set the translucensy and the color of the glass so it is as equal as Glass, so I am satisfied with the result on the drawing.
But then...
I need to export this Drawing Sheet to PDF, and I cannot do this because my Siemens NX License (Mach Advantage) does not have a Rendering Option.

Anybody knows a work around for this?




Best regards,

Pascal,

NX8 and waiting for NX 8.5, on Win7 64 Bit

I use PrimoPDF, freeware. It installs itself as a windows printer.

In NX8.5, just select the pdf printer and you should be good to go.
Translucency, partially shaded: no problem (you can change the resolution to medium which is fair enough)
