The File > Export > PDS Export command exports model data from Smart 3D into PDS. The process involves transferring Smart 3D objects and their attribute values to PDS file format. For information about the types of Smart 3D model data that you can export to PDS, see Export to PDS Workflow.
Please refer to the Export to PDS Guide or help file for detailed information about exporting Smart 3D data to PDS.
Prior to using the export to PDS functionality, you must perform the following tasks:
-
Edit the options in the delivered initialization file to define the parameters used in the export process. For more information about the initialization file, see Configure the PDS Export Initialization File.
-
Edit the mapping workbooks to reflect the customizations that you have made to the Smart 3D model object attributes. For more information about the mapping worksheets, see Appendix: Export to PDS Workbook.
-
Ensure that the mapping and PDSExportTranslator.ini files are in the same file path before exporting model data to PDS.
