The engineering document format

BOEING is a trademark of Boeing Management Company Copyright © 2015 Boeing. All rights reserved. Copyright © 2014 Northrop Grumman Corporation. All rights reserved. GPDIS_2015.ppt | 15 Why develop an engineering version of PDF? Global Product Data Interoperability Summit | 2015

Engineering today is mostly done in 3D Multiple proprietary CAD data formats exist • AutoCAD, CATIA, Siemens NX, PTC Creo, etc. Tools for proprietary formats are expensive Existing open standards for CAD data are too old (IGES) or do not have a standard viewer available (STEP, JT) Estimated that there is up to 4 times the demand for CAD data outside the engineering department – RFI/RFQ, assembly instructions, maintenance manuals, marketing, etc.

Based on PDF (ISO 32000-1) Covers 3 primary areas: • Incorporation of complex engineering data into compact PDF (3D, object-level data, etc.) • Accurate printing of engineering drawings • Support for secure exchange/management of annotation and markup data Constrained to provide predictability • All fonts MUST be embedded • No external resources; self contained • 3D, Layers, Multimedia
