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?
I am set for printing a certain number of pictures taken with a Canon Eos 5D; the prints will be A3+ and A2 size. The pictures are mostly about city scape and many of them have a quite troubled exposure (mist, sunsets, rainy weather and so on). With this goal in mind, I would like to clearly understand if upsampling the file size through the CS3 Camera Raw "Workflow Options", would give to the file any valuable improvement in terms of better contrast, detail enhancement, etc and if choosing to upsample this way has any consequence (either way) on noise.
I have been on other forums too inquiring about this issue, but at now the response is quite controversial: for some "it just doesn't make any difference", for others "it does, but it depends...".
I understand that when you convert to a Smart Object, this process is non-destructive, i.e. I can perform as many readjustments to a filter, for example, and Photoshop will always work from the embedded container file (which has had no filter adjustment made to it) to adjust the filter to your most recently adjusted settings. If you later decide you don't want to use a filter at all, and rasterize the Smart Object back into a regular layer again, is this process non-destructive as well?

see the part 'Smart Objects Created in Photoshop'. It seems to say I can't scale with a Smart Object without causing interpolation and blurry edges. What the writer of this article is trying to get across, because it is well documented that Smart Objects can be endlessly rescaled non-destructively.
for some time now I cant use Times New Roman, Arial, and some other Font Families that comes with Windows 7. I can use the fonts in Word but not in any Adobe product. Why? That wasnt happening on Windows XP.
Another thing, is it possible to sort the fonts in illustrator..
I want to start printing some of this stuff I've created, I used a sheet set I downloaded from somewhere but now that I'm further down the road I want to change the layout, title blocks and such. What's the best way you pros would handled this. I know there's times when a customer of yours walks in and says we want to change how the sheet looks, they have new logos, title block request and other things they want changed, they also want to change the sheet size, how would you handle these things, I'm really interested in how you would change the sheet size in the middle of a project.

Is there a way to change this, or is there a font that is very similar that will let you bold and italic?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set font = "Times New Roman" to a text range.
But the API constantly fails with error code = "1430996551".
AIErr result = sAIFont->FindFont("Times New Roman Regular", kAIUnknownFontTechnology, kUnknownAIScript, false, &headingFontKey);
I tried "Times New Roman"
"Times Roman"
"Times-Roman"
"Times New Roman Bold"
I have all these fonts installed on my windows 7 machine and can see them in the AI's font selection menu as well.
What might be the problem ? And how to decode the errorcode (1430996551) ??
Everytime I select Mtext, specifically in a dimension, Autocad 2010 Arch automatically switches the highlighted (computed measurement) text to Arial before I've done anything. So everytime I have to edit a dimension Mtext, I have to reselect the computed dimension (<> / highlighted text), then select the correct text style again to get it back to the correct text style I'm using (FluxArch ttf). All of my text styles in the file have no association w/ Arial, and all the dimension styles rely on the text styles...so I'm stumped. Do I need to repair Autocad due to it Mtext editor being corrupted or something to get it to work properly again?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI need it to be a Sans-serif font, similar to arial type, but with the cutouts needed for stenciling. I also need numbers included. In fact, i dont even need letters, I just need numbers.
Everything I have found is either a serif style font, or doesn't include numbers.
why the Arial narrow font used in dwg files from earlier Acad version won't display as expected in Acad 2011/Windows 7/32 Bit.
All text characters display as a very simple thin lines of constant thickness no matter how close you zoom in. Neither can I create new text using A/Narrow though all other fonts work ok.
Files with this issue were created in WindowsXP on a PC and the problem is surfacing on Win7 running on VM Ware Fusion installed on iMac & therefore preventing me from fully migrate over to Mac as I need to work now and again on old files.
We have noticed when using Arial.TTF (Client Required) that when plotting hard copies out, we have discovered that the width of the text line is different than it shows in Autocad. We have done several troubleshooting tests, and are convinced it has something to do with it being a TTF font and different drivers or devices scale the fonts differently. I have scoured the net, but cannot find discussion on this issue.
We have tried:
Plot Style Tables - No effect
Various plotters - Same issue, but different degrees of width change
re-creating drawings - no effect
AutoCAD version - no effect
I have attached a sample file that we have used to test this issue - incase it might have an issue in the file it's self.
To see the biggest difference plot to fit a D+ size using Extents vs Window around the Text only.
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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I open a pdf produced using dwgtopdf I get a warning from Adobe Acrobat that it "cannot find or create the font 'Arial-Black'. Some characters may not display or print correctly".
Looked at the files present within the template when I go to e-transmit and inded, there is no sign of that font, but the title block displays perfectly well.
Checked my fonts folder in control panel and while there is an 'Arial Black', there is no 'Arial-Black'.
Is this a problem within ACAD or Adobe Acrobat. The problem has only appeared over the last few weeks.
I'm using ACAD LT 2010. I use the basic Arial font for all text and the mtext command to insert text. On occasion I use some of the standard symbols such as the degree symbol (%%d) and +/- symbol (%%p) among others. When I plot to the printer everything prints fine, but when I plot to PDF using the standard DWG to PDF plotter setup that comes with LT2010 the symbols and usually the entire line that the symbol is on either doesn't plot or it plots a series of boxes for each character in that line. I experimented with a couple of other different fonts and the same symbols. Some plotted to PDF correctly others did as stated above.

How can I use this font?
the normal form of Arial Black is not showing up on my font list in Photoshop.
Only the italic version is available for use.
I have verified in the Windows Font folder that both styles are installed.

I’m working with PDF files in illustrator and whenever the file uses Helvetica I have to change the font to Arial. This gets old when working with hundreds of illustrations. How I would go about changing all text that uses Helvetica bold to Arial bold and Helvetica Roman to Arial?
Would I loop through all the text frames and get the value of the font and use that value to change them or is there a more global way to go about this?
I work for a website company and spend a lot of time producing images which contain standard text within svg files for use on webpages. I have noticed that the text in these files often doesn't display properly: it is misaligned and in sarif. I have found this is due to many browsers not recognising the text 'Arial-MT' that illustrator uses as its standard Arial font.
It seems that Illustrator makes it impossible to save text within svg files as Arial - a universal font that all web browsers can read. This seems like a critical failure in Illustrator and basically makes Illustrator unusable for web-based svgs...
At the moment I have resorted to creating a program that finds and replaces Arial-MT to Arial within the actual svg file. Any actual way within illustrator to save Arial AS Arial and not this ridiculous Arial-MT fonttype that no webbroswer can use.
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.
I'm new to the style library and how to take an existing drawing that was created on one standard, and changing it to another standard I just created. The new standard has different dimension styles, text, and layers. I've added all the styles to my style library and I've set the new standard to the active standard in both the styles and standards editor and the document settings. If I create a new view, it comes in on the new standard, but the existing views are still on the old. How to I get the existing views on the new standard?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to know if it is possible that a ctb file can change the font in my print. I am working in Project Wise and using Interplot I created a ctb file to do color mapping. The color mapping worked fine but it then changed my font from a font_iso to something unknown (in screenshot - hope it attached ).
I just want to rule out the possibility that it is / is not a setting from the ctb file. I am actually working with other drawing programs also on this project (MicroStation) but the problem only started when I used the ctb file and not with the MicroStation plot functions.
Is there a way to change multiple MTexts at once to a certain font? I don't have the full version, only AutoCAD LT 2013 so unfortunately I don't have the fancy express tools or lisps.
I have at least 1000 MTexts that need to be changed. This will take a long time if I have to activate each one and change them individually.

(BTW: The "Applies to" - list is not up-to-date and the setting accepts only the font but not the colour)
But how to change the font which appears in the dialogue of Editors (Texted, att-ed, ...)? Yesterday I changed the Windows setting for "Dialogtext" (Messagetext?), but the dialogues only changed the colour but not the font ...?
