Export Draft > DWG/DXF - problem with font width

Tomek try check with your PDMS Guru the file called "acad.fmp" and eventually declaring in the list only the fonts that you really need (backup the original acad.fmp first.

It seems this is about PDMS SP - SP 2.20 - export is ok, higher are bad, 2.31 export from is nearly OK ... this patch don´t use simplex.shx to replace standard PDMS font, it use "STANDARD" with better result.

Albycad: thank you, probably this is not solution we are looking for.

 

Hi deepblue,
our acad guru didn´t find what is problem.
I am not versed at draft admin, so i don ´t know what at draft amin part can influence acad style after export - we did some exports from other projects and it uses style "HTX11" ... hope I will find what to do to set draft admin to be able use same style - may be somebody here know this ?.
Now my exports from PDMS 12.1 SP2.31 give this information:
                MTEXT     Layer: "PDMS_NOTE_23"
                           Space: Model space
                  Color: 9    Linetype: "BYLAYER"
                  Handle = 8ee
            Style = "Standard"
       Annotative: No
Location:        X= 398.0000  Y= 275.0000  Z=   0.0000
Width:              0.0000
Normal:          X=   0.0000  Y=   0.0000  Z=   1.0000
Rotation:                0
Text height:        2.4000
Line spacing:    Exactly (1.000000x =    4.0000)
Attachment:      BottomRight
Flow direction:  LtoR
Contents:        {\fO8111901|b0|i0;\T 0.90\Q 0.00;Some text...}


As i wrote in later post, now is result better (not ideal, but usable), so i am not in so big pressure .
- There are some notes for news at PDMS Patch 2.31:
Title: Configurable DXF export does not retain height or width with
PDMS standard fonts .
Symptoms:  Font  size  and  character  spacing  was  different  when
exported to DWG
Solution: This issue has been corrected
So it seems there are some good changes at configurable export (not at Standard DXF, but never mind....)

hi tomek

ok.....looks like is pdms problem.
thank for sharing

[QUOTE=tomek;91162]Hi all,
after export my SHEE to DWG or DXF there are much longer text than i can see in Draft. Of course, i imported pdms fonts to my CAD app . I tried to change settings(grouping, font mapping, R12 compatible etc. ). I hope for some advice..

Hi Tomek,
Could you show me how to export to Dwg or Dxf...i'm looking for.
Thanks

Simple user DXF export from Draft from menu Utilies > Standard DXF , Better is Configurable DXF/DWG Output with many settings. You can output DWG/DXF by PML language also ...

Thanks Tomek, now it's easy with me, but have one thing i want export my piping system to [COLOR=#ff0000]autocad 3D[/COLOR].(dwg/dxf/ or dgn also ok)
Do you know do that? If you can pls show me.
Thanks
