I have trials for both Converter and Enrich. I’ve created a template PDF using Enrich which includes a 3D window, view carousel, and BOM. It looks great.

Within the Tetra4D Converter settings, under the “Document” tab I’ve set the template PDF field to use this template when a PDF is created from a STEP file.

If I right mouse button click on a STEP file and choose the “Convert to 3D PDF” using Converter, this template is in fact used, _however_ neither the carousel nor the bom updates. I’m not sure what I’m missing!

Hi,

The “usual” process would be this one:  
Create your template with **Tetra4D Enrich** tools, based on a “dummy” 3D " (like what you can see in the Enrich Startup console), then use this template and use the Enrich feature “ **3D, Replace 3D** ” to get an update of the document, and like this your “final” doc.

Hi and thanks for your response! I did discover that but I was hoping it would be more automated. Is there a way to script the Replace action?
