Hello,
 
I am trying to convert some parts from Catia V5. I have sucessfully imported and can create the 3dpdf.
 
My problem is that I choose Default Rendering Style of Line Illustration, this then sets this for any default views created. But any views from catia v5 are created at shaded.
 
Is there a way to default these views to Line Illustration also?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro Extended 9.0, Unix/Linux

Not easily, I'm afraid. The default style you select for the annotation is overridden by anything in a stored view, and as the views from Catia are already imported with the "system default" mode of Shaded before you make the change in the 3D Tool dialog window, they don't see the change you make, and stick with what they had before.

Of course you can select a view in the tree, change the render mode without moving anything else, then store it as a new view (deleting the old one in the process) - but if you've got masses of preset views it'll take a while. As you can't directly read and write the parameters of a View object with JavaScript, you can't use the JS API to change the render modes as a batch-type operation.

There are some truly awful hacks that center around rapid-firing timer events that keep resetting the render mode, but they cause no end of trouble.
