Insert SVG into Word® 2007

It is easy to do a drag 'n drop of a svg file into a word document, at the condition to use V3.02 of the Adobe® SVG Viewer (Word will crash with 3.03)
Download the compatible version from :
http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/magic/svgviewer/win/3.x/3.02/en/SVGView.exe
Please note that the Seemage install will only install V3.03

You can also watch video below. It shows the generation of a vector SVG view from seemage with interactive BOM and this integration into Word. SVG viewer will be embedded in the Word document and intercation between BOM and lables will be maintained.

Time to generate a vector view

The time can be slow on some computers. In this case, first try to modify the Hardware Application Preference./Hardware support: dé-activate the static P-Buffer.
When lauching the Technical Illustration, Seemage calculates the view and open the 2D View.
The P-Buffer option does slow-down this calculation.
Moreover, when starting a technical Illustration, one should activate the "back culling" in order for Seemage not to calculate and vectorize hidden lines.
With the P-Buffer option activated, one can experience a big slow-down when working with multi-windowing (starting at 4 parallel views).

seemage v4.3 novelties

You can see main novelties in seemage v4.3 release:
- Search all has been added in the Quick Search engine (ctrl+F)
- PDF documents can be generated from seemage Sync
- When using TAB key, if K is pressed, then temporary hidden objects will stay in ghost rendering mode
- Simple application for file name conformity between UNIX and Windows
- Support of CATIA® v5 Process Tolerancing & Annotation

SVG files in Adobe® Illustrator - no Zoom fit All

Adobe® Illustrator does not support svg files with “zoom fit all” attributes.
To have the good size of the drawing in Illustrator you have to make a small modification in the svg file.
At the top of the svg document you have to replace “width” and “height” attributes by constants values:

Capture camera position only

Seemage views are commonly used to generate technical illustrations (svg, cmg). It is important to keep the same camera position for all views. But usually, user needs to rotate, pan and zoon when he creates those deliverables. It is very easy to apply upon those views a specific view that captures only the camera position.
