Pdms to cad (text to large)

when i open my dxf file up in autocad 2011 (that dxf file i created from pdms) the text is scaled up way to big and is outside my border?

it never used to do this with earlier version of autocad..


anyhelp?

You need to take fonts from aveva pdms installation folder and copy it to autocad font folder..

Other thing you can do is you can import your required text to PDMS through your system admin.

thanks for the replies!

or you can do a autolisp for stretch your fonts under autocad

txt_ht

in the 2nd part, change the 3.925 in the 2nd code line (in function of the too big size of your text) and 2.2 in the 3rd (in function of what you would like).
