Export of 2D Layout Data to 3D XML

There a a few things that you need to know about export of 2D layout data to 3D XML with Authoring.

Note: 2D layout data is not exported to 3D XML for review.

When exporting to 3D XML with Authoring a 3D shape representation containing 2D layout data (regardless of whether the 2D layout contains links to external data), only the 2D layout itself is exported along with the 3D shape.

For more information, refer to the documentation related to 3D XML export of 3D Shape representations.

Important: In the case of a 2D layout containing a text with attribute link or a 2D component instance, the external reference is not exported, but of course, the text with attribute link/2D component will be displayed in the 3D XML. If you need to export the external feature attribute or the catalog or drawing containing the 2D component reference, you can do so explicitly during the export process.
