Texp font export to plot file

When you export a backing sheet from DRAW to plot file format to be used as title block, I noticed font 1 which you see as single line font in DRAW will no longer be single line font (become bold) when exported to plot file format. This is not good if the font is small and become unreadable when print out in reduced size.

In previous PDMS DRAFT we don't have this problem. I don't see anywhere we can change the setting. Does anyone faces this problem and has a good solution and care to share?

with e3d 2.1.0.23 i don't get this issue.
font 1 stay in single line in plot file and print fine
we use also font 5 (bold) witch stay bold in plot file and print fine

Same Here. Front 1 changes nothing. During the plot it get exporte with truetype front again.
Pretty weired
Played around with the visual layers etc. But didnt worked out yet

The export changed recently, so that you can select whether TrueType fonts are exported as single line or not. In the export backstage there is a tickbox "Scale Line Weight" which, as the name suggests, scales the line weights. When disabled any text in TTF should come out with thin lines.
The tickbox has always been there but this functionality for TTF was only introduced in fix 26. Read more in the release letter for fix 26.

thanks mno

saw that within the export area and within this a export works fine.


But in our case we are doing batch detail plots with the plot command.

for example
PLOT ce file  "d:\test2.plt" 50mm 50mm CUT OFF OVER


even if you change everything to font 1 it always changes it back to ttf style

oh boy... found it

You gave me the tipp to fgure out what i was doing wrong :-)


the correct command, if you want to use the plot command. Singleline is the toggle command which it there. In pdms it was driven by the font you had within your dept etc. thats why i missed the new syntax first.


PLOT ce file  "d:\test2.plt" 'SINGLELINE' 50mm 50mm CUT OFF  OVER

thanks mno :))
