Hi Everyone,
Wanted to see if anyone out there could help me out, I'm trying to set up a Marco for converting an Assembly into a 3D PDF, I've taken code from here but have had no luck with getting it to work. I have a PDF macro for drawings (code below) that was created before my time that I was basing the 3D PDF but my knowledge of coding is limited and wanted to know if anyone has come across any examples of how to set this up.
Thanks in advance,
Samuel
