The controls in this area determine general aspects of the conversion from think3 into the selected format
Convert profiles to curves
When selected, these entities are converted. When not selected they are ignored.
Convert datum entities
Controls the conversion of datum entities. When this check-box is selected, datum entities are converted.
Convert not visible entities
When selected, these entities are converted. When not selected they are ignored.
Convert solid entities
Controls the conversion of solid entities. When this check-box is not selected, solids are converted into their component surfaces.

3D format to PDF
The controls in this group allow to define the accuracy of the description of the model.
B-Rep
Enables you to save the B-Rep (boundary representation) of the model. The size of the output file is bigger than the one obtained by the Tessellation option, because it includes both geometry and topology of the model.
Tessellation
Enables you to save the model by the tessellation, that is the 3D static representation of the model. The size of the output file is the smallest of the three options.
B-Rep + Tessellation
Enables you to save the B-Rep (boundary representation) of the model along with its tessellation (3D static representation of the model). The size of the output file is the biggest of the three options.
Show warnings/error messages
When selected, warnings and error messages are displayed in a popup window.
