Hi All,
Just been playing around with the 3D PDF writer and have noticed that my output seems to be in mm rather than meters (AdobeReader has a measurement tool)
I've turned off "Move to local Coordinate System" but the issue is still there. Is there a way to specify the unit in the writer? or is the only way to do this to scale the model so that the measurements are at least accurate?

Open the PDF
Right click on the image
Click on '3D Preferences'
Click on 'Measuring (3D)' located under 'Categories',
Tick 'Use default display unit:
Change the unit to 'Meters'
Click OK

Thanks for the tip - I tried that but seems like it only converts the mm into meters for display purposes - My measurements are now 0.001 m when they should be 1 m.

Hi @virtualcitymatt! We looked this up in our system and found an existing issue FMEENGINE-38044. Unfortunately, there is not a work around we know of, but we will update this post as soon as the status changes.
