Hi,
In Acrobat 3D measurement is always enabled for the creator of the the PDF. However, it is also the document creator's choice in he/she wants the receipient to be able to measure it. Unless you have specifically enabled for email review and anaysis, others will not be able to measure it. You should also be aware that when you set tesselation granularity at inport time, you are also dictating the fidelity of measurement. So, keep the tesselation as coarse as possible while still getting reasonable viewing charicteristics if you are concerned about IP protection and reverse engineering.

I am an Adobe Business Development Manager specializing in Manufacturing. I am a vetran of many years in manufacturing and PLM, and focus much of my efforts in 3D PDF and how it can be used to solve numerous customer business problems and challenges.
