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:



Must be replaced by

Space Mouse (3D mouse)

All the '3D connexion' space mouse should be compatible with Seemage solutions.
In Seemage, the 3D navigation is done around 2 axis only. Therefore, the 3 axis must be available to properly use a space mouse within the Seemage solutions.
To free the third axis, the 'free rotation (no constraint)' must be enabled in 'Application preferences/Cameras'.

Tesselation of JT files

A JT file cannot be re-tesselated in Seemage.
Our tesselation system will not affect the JT’s mesh.
All pre-meshed formats : JT, 3Ds, U3D, VRML, OBJ, XAML

Control tesselation quality

Before you create the seemage file in Solidworks®, you can control the tesselation quality (refinement). To do that, you need to go in Tools/Options - Document properties/Image quality and move the cursor.
