Adobe released a free download that delivers updated 3D CAD translators for Acrobat 3D Version 8. The new version allows Acrobat 3D to support the latest version of many major 3D CAD file formats.
The file formats updated include Autodesk Inventor, CoCreate OneSpace Designer, JT, SolidWorks, and UGS NX and I-deas. The updated translators leverage technology Adobe gained as part of its 2006 acquisition of Trade & Technologies France (TTF).
The product update is available from the Adobe web site at:
