Has anyone an answer as to why when creating a 3d pdf from wf3, the resulting pdf has missing parts (pdf created from a backup) and why on other occasions there is a run time error during processing of data. Thanks

Thank you for your reply. To create the conversion I am taking a full pro-e model.
I back up to local disc and then use acrobat to create the 3d model. The assembly being converted is of an electronic equipment rack, created using Proe2001 but opened in wildfire 3. When conversion has completed the result shows all parts, including wires but the entire rack frame assy is missing. The rack frame can be converted on its own but not when combined with the overall rack assembly. This error is consistent, occuring on different PC's and different installs (purchased and demo). This problem has also been experienced at other totally unrelated divisions of the company, resulting in purchase rejection. Some model conversions seem fine, but it is the uncertainty.

Possible answer. (reason)
The problem has been narrowed down to Instance parts of Generics.
Generic feature instances are fine, but generics with part instances are the items that are missing. Our local solution is to export problem generic assembly as iges , re-import and save as a part, reassemble to default (where-ever) of problem model, backup and discard session.
Next stop WF4

Final solution - Adobe acrobat 9 pro extended
Save assy as a neutral file.
PDF creater wont create from a neutral file and displays a failure message - Fix. Create a pdf of a single proe part and leave window open. Now create another PDF of the neutral file and it will be allowed as a second window.
Other observations - poorly constructed parts (features over features etc) cause failures when large models are being converted, typically runtime c++ and suggestion of a damaged file provided by email.
Saving to an empty directory is also recommended.
