AutoCAD 2013 :: Embedding Fonts With Export DWG To PDF?
Nov 18, 2013
We have recently started having issues with our sets coming back from the printers. We are using ACA 2013. We us the "Arial" font for all of our noting.
When we need a check set printed we typically send a PDF of the set to our printer for reproduction. Lately I have been using the "export > to pdf" function under the drop down. The problem is, when we view the PDF in our office, it is perfect but when we ship it off to the printer he see's missing letters and open boxes in some areas instead of letters.
I am assuming that this is because the font is being substituted with something else. When I recreate the PDF using the plot command and use the Adobe PDF printer I can uncheck the "Rely on system fonts only, do not use document fonts". This seems to remedy the problem and the printer is able to print and view the PDF just fine.
So, is it possible to set the default settings of whatever the "export to pdf" uses to convert the dwg into a pdf so that is will embed the fonts. There is not an option for that under the Export to DWF/PDF options.

Is there a way to embed font files into a PSD so that if you take it to another computer that doesn't have them, it won't have to choose a substitute?

Have just put the finishing touches on a book cover and now need to embed the fonts plus the following. Can I use GIMP to do this?
Fonts and images are embedded.
Bookmarks, annotations, and comments are disabled.
Document security (any type) is not used.
PDF/X format is used. PDF/X is preferred, but if you are submitting non-PDF/X files (for example, PDF/A), any comments, forms, or other non-printing objects could be removed during our review process.
Transparent objects are flattened.
Spreads and printer's marks are disabled.
Downsampling, or decreasing resolution, of images is disabled.
Bleeds are enabled (if applicable).

My customer is recently importing our drawings (.dxf preferably, but pdf is acceptable) and they need single stroke fonts / polylines to ensure that the file import will be successful (otherwise, with true type fonts, the contours and filling separate and shift, which makes the text unreadable).
All fonts in Inventor (.idw files) are true type fonts, and I can't find any option to stroke the fonts when exporting to .dxf or .pdf.
Raster images are not allowed, so I cannot simply export the file as an image and then back to a vector file. Any option I just don't see in the export settings...

in Inventor I use my own library with different layers, font types, colors, lineweights etc. In Inventor drawing it works well. But after exporting to DWG only colors of different layers stay the same; all fonts, lineweights change to one (maybe some kind of default) font, lineweight.
How could I repair that, I need drawing in DWG to look like the same as in Inventor. I have tried to use "Configuration" in DWG file exporting option and I have created my own configuration, but it did not work... I simply do not understand how it works. If the "Configuration" in DWG file exporting option is the clue -

I have been exporting docs to pdf/x and the fonts are not showing up on Macs only on pc's? If this is a bug I hope we are not going to have to wait until next version for this to be fixed.

We have an Inventor Drawing Border Template which is 381KB in size. We have a drawing checklist in PDF format which is 182KB in size
We thought to insert this into the IDW file so it would appear in the browser bar as embedded under the 3rd party section this actually works a treat....BUT The total file size of the template is then 2049KB which is too large. Why is it when inserting a 182KB File into a 381KB file it creates a combined file size of nearly 4 times the size of the 2 files?
It seemed difficult to have files this large repeated over and over again.

We have Inventor DWG templates that I have created based on our AutoCAD DWG templates. We chose the INV DWG route to simplify template creation. However, our logo has a gradient hatch with the 'O', something which Inventor cannot handle.So we now modify the logo only, changing the 'O' to an embedded bitmap image. The same goes for the ISO logo.
After doing this, I noticed the drawings were increasing in size, at a much higher rate than detail I was addding to the drawings. If I go to Tools > Links, i see that the bitmaps are being replicated, over and over (seems like after every save, or every time the drawing is opened). The count can hit around 45 embeddings!
The problem is that the logo randomly drops off (on screen and after printing) due to there being too many embeddings, and I cannot save the Inventor DWG to an AutoCAD DWG any longer (clients request editable DWGs).
Question : How do I stop the embedding replications?
Drawing with all views deleted. Notice file size of 8mb. Normal size around 1.4mb from template file.

Below is a link to a github repo that has a code example showing how to embed an IronPython engine inside a C# addin. It is the same as the "Simple AddIn" that comes with the SDK, only with the logic part of the addin factored out into IronPython. I could never find anything on using IronPython with Inventor so I'm posting this for any others that might be interested.
The main reason for doing this is to speed up development time. Edits related to the python code do not require the cycle of shutting down Inventor, compiling, restarting etc. More detail is in the readme. URL....

How do you embed (not link) an excel spread sheet into my sheet metal template.
The excel file is simple, 2 rows listing the A1=gauge and B1= decimal equivalent.
What I want to do with this is to get the gauge to show up in the iProperties description along with length and width of part. The thing is I need column A to show up in the iProperties (12GA) but column B to be used for the sheet metal default thickness.
I keep getting this error when I run my code.
Error in rule: Gauge, in document: Part1
GoExcel: 3rd Party worksheet not found: "3rd Party:Embedding 1", Sheet: "Sheet1"
Code so far..
i = GoExcel.FindRow("3rd Party:Embedding 1", "Sheet1", "Gauge", "<=", iProperties.Value("Custom", "Gauge"))MultiValue.List("Thickness") = GoExcel.CellValues("3rd Party:Embedding 1", "Sheet1", "B2", "B35")

We are a couple of students just starting at our finale thesis at the university. We got some problems that we can't find a resolution to.
We are going to use Ultramarine MOSES to simulate a ship. We got the drawings as 2d construction lines (.dwg) and 3d (.igs) of the ship, and need all the coordinates, x,y,z of all lines, to the coding in MOSES.
Our problem is to get these coordinates from autocad. We have tried to open the dwg in autocad and use dataextraction to get the coordinates without any sucess. We have also tried the igs without any sucess there as well.

I was wanting to create an image of text embedded in a metal block. Is there any way to use the 3D tools in Photoshop CS6 to create this kind of effect ? I've only been able to extrude text 'up' ( if you know what I mean ! ) rather than down into a negative space.

I made a 50 page book in photoshop cs2, dont ask why I made it in there but I did it all. I'm having it printed from files on a disc, the printer requested that I put each file in a .psd format (not a problem) and a .pdf format as well (again not a problem) but he also asked that I embed the fonts I used into the .psd file so that he prints exactly what I created with the same fonts and all. Im not sure how to do this?

I have a strange one here. Installed 10 seats of Inventor 2013 on Win 7x64, all but 2 cannot export an AutoCAD DWG. When you go to export the file, clicking on Options does nothing. On the one I have tried a repair install, this did no0t work, I then did an uninstall/reinstall, this fixed it. On the second machine, I was hoping I could get away with copying the dwg export .nin file. This has not worked

I created a new line type from a shape file. When i drew this linetype and then exported the drawing to pdf, I received the error message in the picture. It said the SHX files are missing, but when I looked in the folder, the SHX files were still there.
When export to pdf completed, I was left with a broken shape shown in the attached pdf.

The company I work for is looking into buying new AutoCAD software due to upgrading computers. We don't use 3D commands at all and are looking into purchasing the LT version for budgeting reasons. What we are trying to find out now is if you can export and import SHP files from GIS ESRI software. Are you able to edit the SHP files if necessary?
