Description

Expected Behavior

AMF by design is compressed (zip), with XML content. The AMF serializer should do this by default, and support an option to skip compression if requested.

Actual Behavior

AMF content is not compressed, only XML content.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

  1. Create any 3D shape
  2. Select AMF from export formats
  3. Export
  4. Results are XML only

Specifications

  • Version: All
  • Platform: ALL
  • Environment: All

Research direction

Start by locating the JavaScript AMF serializer and the export path used when AMF is selected. Reproduce the reported export with a simple 3D shape, then verify that the default result is a zipped AMF XML file and that an option can preserve uncompressed XML output.
