Put AC layers on sub-levels of active level - AC in the check box name stands for AutoCAD. When cleared, the AC (AutoCad) levels are added as new levels in the Ke圜reator file. Import all geometry to the active level - When selected, the geometry is imported to the Ke圜reator file at the level that is active on the viewport. When unchecked, special symbol characters are not converted.
This means that double-byte font characters which use a given special symbol code for one of their bytes will not display properly. Translate Special Characters - When this is checked, special symbol characters used by DWG/DXF files will be converted into their Ke圜reator equivalent symbol.
When 2D Polyline, Arc, Line, and Point are imported with Dimension set to Gendim, these entities will be generic dimension entities. Dimensions imported as Gendim retain their AutoCAD look, but are harder to modify and cannot be exported as a Dimension entity. These dimensions will be easier to modify, but may not look the same as they do in AutoCAD. To export each text with its own font, clear the text from this box.ĭimension Style - Set this option to either fit for dimensions to import as the closest dimension type, or as Gendim. If no AutoCAD line type can be translated, the default line type is used.įont for text entities, blank to use imported font- This option allows you to select a single font to which all fonts in the export file will be converted. You can choose from continuous, dashed, center, or phantom continuous is the default. If you are a CAD Manager you may want to ignore one font for some particular reason and/or client request overriding your current standard.Line style to use for unsupported AC line types - AC (that is, AutoCAD) line types will import as the line type specified in this field. You also have the ability to change the settings and also mark this as ignored. This is just one basic function of the AutoCAD standards manager. Lastly, select fix then close the standard manager.Take a look to make sure this is what you need and/or want for your particular design or drawing. The AutoCADstandards Manager will give you a preview of the changes.If you have additional fonts you would like to use simply add that to your template file prior to creating the standards file. What font you would like to replace that with? Remember you are reading from the template file you created.The AutoCAD Standards Manager will display the font name and the problem. Select Check Standards and you will have several steps to review/and/or complete. Now we are ready to run our check and change those fonts. We have several imported from Microstation and others we are not sure what they are referencing.įigure 1: Text Styles from outside source
Related : Removing non-standard Line types with the AutoCAD Standards managerįigure 1 shows a drawing received from a client and the fonts do not conform to our company standard. This is where the AutoCAD Standards Manager comes to the rescue. Have you ever opened up a drawing and you have fonts, fonts, everywhere? Names of fonts and text sizes where you have no idea where they came from or they cannot be purged due to an object, linetype or some random AutoCAD feature that is holding on to it? Standardize those text styles in AutoCAD. If you would like to write a guest post for CSO – click here. Well – calm down! This weeks guest post from the wonderful Sam Lucido takes you through an easy way to remove non standard fonts from your AutoCAD DWGs, using a surprisingly underused tool.
