When publishing a drawing to 3D DWF or DWFx, the following conditions apply:
- Most types of hatches (patterns, solid, graphics) are published.
- The 3D DWF or 3D DWFx file uses the display configuration that is active in the DWG file during publishing.
Note: When you publish 3D objects to DWF or DWFx, only the display set used for 3D views of the drawing is published. For 3D views, this is usually a Model display set, for example Model Medium Detail, Model High Detail, or Model Low Detail. You can view the objects in Top view in Design Review; however, this is only a Top view of the Model display, and not a Plan view. Objects with no display representation in the Model display set are not displayed in the published DWF or DWFx. Objects that typically are not displayed in Model views are tags, annotations, dimensions, and 2D Plan symbols. If you want these to display in the DWF or DWFx, you can either activate them for the Model display set, or generate a 2D DWF or 2D DWFx file.
- If Render materials are enabled, the transparency is translated to the DWF or DWFx file.
- Live Section objects are published.
- Property set data attached to objects or styles is published to DWF or DWFx.
The following limitations apply:
- Infinite lines, like construction lines (xlines) and rays, are not published.
- Text fonts in the DWG file are all converted to Arial. Text formatting like Bold, Italic, and Underline are not currently supported.
- Clip Planes and Xref Clipping are not supported.
- OLE objects as well as inserted images are not supported.
- Linetypes and lineweights are currently not supported.
- Hyperlinks are not published (but are visible for non-AEC objects).
