  • Press and hold the Control Key and Right Mouse Button together then stretch a rectangular area to zoom in on.

First page of 3D PDF Report is always cover page. It has following features:

• If there are no HOT diagnostic items and option to export Warm/Error/Info diagnostics is selected and the job does not have those diagnostics, only cover page, with Summary status of ‘PASS’, is created.
• If there are no HOT diagnostic items and option to export Warm/Error/Info diagnostics is selected and the job has those diagnostics, cover page is created with Summary status of ‘PASS’, and 2nd page is created with Warm/Error/Info diagnostics.
• Title is based on IQJT DisplayName 'DisplayName': 'Validate Part PMI Derivative by View'.
• If there are HOT diagnostic items, 2nd page is always created.
• The summary status is 'FAIL' if there are any HOT diagnostics items, it is 'PASS' if there are no HOT diagnostic items.
• If the job is for model comparision, the summary status is 'Changed' if there are any HOT diagnostics items, it is 'Not Changed' if there are no HOT diagnostic items.

• 'Saved View' column lists all saved views present in the model (for PMI with saved views jobs). A row for each saved view with its highest HOT level will be created. 'Count' will list HOT items count in that level.
• If a saved view doesn't have HOT diagnostics items, the Changes/Defects column will have 'Clean' state.
• The Geometry, PMI and Attribute columns shows respective icon if the saved view has diagnostic item(s) of that category present in it. (Green Circle - No hot diagnostic of that category present, RED traingle - Hot diagnositc of that category present)

• Click on 'Saved View' button to view the model on 2nd page. The 2nd page is opened with the selected saved view as active view.
• For Assembly with saved views, only saved views are shown in the summary table. 'Count' column is sum of all HOT diagnostics items of all components parts of that saved view.
• If 'Attach Summary Reports to PDF Report' option is selected, summary reports (text files), xml report is attached to the PDF report. All summary report in text format are combined into a single text file and attached to the PDF report. User can view the attachment from the cover page.

Saved views panel disaplys the diagnostics count for each saved view. User can select the required saved view to view its diagnositcs. Active saved view is displayed with background color. On 'Show Warm Values On/Off' selection change, 'Warm' diagnostics and column will be shown/hidden.

PDF report for job without saved views will not display the 'Saved Views' panel.

PDF report for assembly shows 'Parts List' with diagnostic count for each component instance. User select part to view its diagnostics.

Quality defects and differences between model pairs identified by CADIQ are documented in CADIQ 3D PDF Reports as diagnostic items. Diagnostic items can be displayed and reviewed by interacting with the Diagnostic Item selection box.

• The Diagnostic Items list allows to select diagnostic items identified by a diagnostic.
• The Properties textbox shows properties of selected diagnostic items.
• The Description textbox shows details of selected diagnostic item.
• Properties panel can be expanded/collapsed to view properties of the selected diagnostic
• When a diagnostic is selected, Description field will be visible to show the diagnostic description.

• If white annotations are not visible on the white background of the graphics area, the annotation presentation color can be overridden by setting the environment variable CADIQ_REPORT_OVERRIDE_NATIVE_ANNOTATION_COLOR=1 and re-create the PDF report.
• Preference color for curves can be overridden by setting the environment variable CADIQ_REPORT_OVERRIDE_NATIVE_CURVE_COLOR=1 and re-create the PDF report.

The dispositioning pdf rerport can be generated when diagnostic items are dispositioned using CADIQ Viewer.

• The summary cover page contains 'Disposition By', 'Disposition Date', 'Summary' from user defined dispositioing. Each dispositioned item with its number of selected diagnostics is displayed in the table.
• User can click on the disposition item to navigate and activate it on 2nd page.
• The Geometry, PMI and Attribute columns shows respective icon if the disposition item has diagnostic item(s) of that category present in it. (Green Circle - No hot diagnostic of that category present, RED traingle - Hot diagnositc of that category present)

• 'Disposition Items (ECOs)' lists all the disposition items, clicking on it populates diagnostic items under this disposition item.
• Selecting a disposition item updates Saved Views panel, if applicable, with number of hot/warm items.
• Selecting a disposition item shows its comments in the 'Disposition Item Description' field.
• A diagnostic can be selected to review, similar to Standard PDF report..

The custom view pdf report can be used to publish Custom Views created in the CADIQ Viewer to PDF report.

• The summary cover page lists names of the custom views. User can click on the custom view to navigate and activate it on 2nd page.
• The Geometry, PMI and Attribute columns shows respective icon if the custom view has diagnostic item of that category present in it.

• 'Custom Views' lists all the custom views - user defined and automatically generated by CADIQ.
• Selecting a custom view displays it in 3D window and populates all its selected diagnostics.

These Adobe Reader preference settings are recommended:

• Disable (uncheck): Documents -> Open tools pane for each document.
• Enable (check): 3D & Multimedia -> Enable playing of 3D content.
• Enable (check): 3D & Multimedia -> Enable view transitions.
• Enable (check): JavaScript -> Enable Acrobat JavaScript.
• Enable (check): JavaScript -> Enable global object security policy.

• On an assembly page, individual face color overrides are not supported, so the color of the first face of the top-level entity (solid, shell, unsewn face) is used.
• Interactive markup of CADIQ 3D PDF reports using Adobe Acrobat is not supported.
• Using Adobe Reader 10.0.0, synchronization of the left and right graphics windows is real time. Using Adobe Reader 10.0.1 or newer, synchronization occurs only after releasing the mouse button.
• Due to an intermittent view synchronization initialization problem, the user may lose the ability to manipulate the left graphics window directly. Manipulation of the right graphics window and automatic synchronization of the left graphics window should continue to work.
• Due to an intermittent view synchronization issue, the right graphics window may be slightly tilted relative to the left graphics window after choosing a diagnostic item from the pull-down menus. Choosing the diagnostic item again usually resolves the issue.
• When viewing an assembly report with multiple pages, the pull-down menu text may disappear after switching to a different page. Switching to a different page and back is a known workaround.
• After closing a PDF file in the Adobe Reader, the PDF file cannot be deleted for 5+ seconds and another PDF file cannot be opened for 5+ seconds.
