AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Convert Survey Drawings From Standard Font To TTF

May 26, 2013

We have just recently updated our templates to use a new TTF font. We are a multi national office, and are running various machines in both Australia and China. We are all using windows 7. Autocad are all full versions but vary between 2010 and 2012.

We are trying to convert survey drawings from a standard font to the ttf, but for some reason, in the Chinese office only the decimal points disappear after the conversion. The same drawing when sent to the Australian office works fine and the decimal points are there. What to try here, as I am in Australia and can't even reproduce the issue the chinese office is having.

AutoCad :: Pros And Cons Associated With Changing Out Standard Font Of Roman SHX To Arial

May 7, 2013

What would be the pros and cons associated with changing out our standard font of Roman.shx to Arial.

- From what I hear, Revit drawings don't use shape files and do not do translate well with Revit. Is this correct?
- Is it easier to make a searchable PDF or DWF with a true type font?

Are there any other advantages or stumbling blocks?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Convert Standard IPart To ILogic Based Part

Nov 4, 2011

I am trying to convert a standard iPart to an iLogic based part.  The part has some text driven, cells..PatNumber, Description..ect..But when I try to referance those cells the iLogic code either does nothing or errors out. 

Basicly i have a bunch of flange rings with have several variables theat need to change as the part number changes, sounds simple right?I have rewritten the code so many times...I have gone from hunt and pecking to typing 300 words a min...well maybe not. 

About 75-80% of all our parts are identical in shape but just get smaller or larger depending on what size portable auger it goes on.I have been trying to get the part to changed based on "PartNumber" but it has text in the value.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Convert Figure To Feature Line - Export Survey Figures To Genio?

Sep 12, 2013

I have a client who uses Bently MX Roads for road design and requires that survey data be supplied in GENIO format. I realise that there are many possible options to get Civil3D survey data into MX, but I am trying to explore the use of the Subscription Extension to Import/Export GENIO.

Surfaces - no problem. Points - I see how I can get that to work. But the only linework that can be exported is Feature Lines, and it is also important that the feature lines have a name (likely related to the layer it is on).

I can convert survey figures to feature lines and name them one by one but would be very time consuming for a whole survey. Is there any way of doing all figures at once?

I'm guessing not and that it is probably easier to do the Genio creation from dwg in MX itself.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Use RomanS Font On All Drawings

Apr 22, 2013

At my office we use RomanS font on all ACAD drawings. We control the thickness of the font by giving it a color, and that color gives it a thickness based upon our pen styles.

In Inventor I can find no such way to do this. The only option is to make it Bold. The Bold version is still not thick enough for our drawing standards. I dont want to use a different font. I want to keep it the same for aesthetic and continuity with all drawing reasons.

I also found out that by using the RomanS_IV25 font, that it shows up Bolder than just RomanS. However I want the text to be thicker than what RomanS_IV25 makes it.

There is also the secondary issue of when I use the Export  to PDF feature while in an .idw, Inventor seems to disregard that any font is BOLD, and it makes it all regular thickness. I found that if I print and select a PDF writer as the printer, I dont have this issue, but this added step is an inconvenience.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Survey Database Link With Imported File?

Apr 13, 2012

I am looking into using the Survey Database for the first time and noticed it linked back to the imported file from which the points came.  However, my question is when the points are adjusted within the AutoCAD file is there a way for this adjustment to link back into the imported point file. I am trying not to have a situation where the data is different between the imported file and the autocad file.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Unlock The Locked Survey Data In Survey Databases

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Survey Figures Don't Match Survey Points

May 3, 2012

here's my process:

1- Import the asc file into my drawing.

2- Convert the asc file to a FBK file

3- Import my FBK file.  The survey figure linework generated doesn't overlay my previously imported asc file.  I checked the FBK file and the coord's match the asc file.  I'm confused as to why the survey figures don't overlay the survey points from the asc file, since the coords match in both?  The survey figures are all shifted .7' and 54deg. from the points.  The elevations are all good on the survey figures, as they match the survey points.

So my quick fix is to explode the survey figures, since I don't really need them for what I'm doing, and then select all the 3d polylines and move them to them to an appropriate survey point.  Everything then looks fine and I can get the job done.

However, I would like some insight as to why this might be happening.  It's strange that the FBK and asc coordinates match, but the survey figures aren't lying over them.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Rotating Survey Text And Points To Front View

Oct 30, 2013

I have been capturing data for measured building surveys with a Leica total station (TS06). When I upload the data into autocad i can see the node points (+) and text in the top view. When switch to look at the points from the front view (to produce an elevation), the text and points appear as a flat line, although the insertion point of the node/text is still correct. I need to find a way of rotating the text and points so they are visible in this view. I will then flatten the points and cut them to the top view to produce a 2d elevation.

we had a toolbar with a button to perform this function. However, now i don't have the toolbar,

AutoCad :: Visio Drawings Font Arial - Change Text Style

Jul 15, 2013

I got a work that I have to change around 1200 drawings from Microsoft Visio to AutoCad 2009. One annoying thing is that the Visio drawings got Arial as text style and my company want everything in their own textstyle. So at the moment I single click all text bar and change the style, there must be a faster way to fix this.

AutoCAD 2010 :: The Standard Scale List Is Missing Completely

Sep 6, 2012

I cannot find the Standard Scale list anywhere in my 2010 version of AutoCAD. Only the Annotative Scale list is visible and usable. Note: it's not that certain scale values are missing, it's that the entire Standard Scale function is no where to be found!

I need to be able to change the scale of a viewport, but the Standard Scale list is not included as an option in the Properties Dialog box, nor is it in any of the other suggested places where it should be. I've used the Standard Scale list many times before in previous versions of CAD and from everything I can tell 2010 should have it.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Convert Standard Part To Sheet Metal Part

Aug 29, 2012

In previous releases (2009 i think) when i converted a standard part to a sheet metal part i could recall all the sheet metal styles by linking back to the sheet metal template (i can't remember exactly how this was done, but it was possible with one operation)

In 2011 i canot find a quick way of doing this, it looks like i have to open the sheet metal template and export each different style (about 40 of them) and then import each one into the converted part. am i missing something? is there a simpler way similar to how it used to be done? Why have Autodesk made this more difficult?

As it stands at the moment it would be quicker for me to remodel the parts from scratch using the sheet metal template. I know this is the obvious solution, but seems strange to change something that worked well to something that doesn't!
