Hello all!
I have dwg files with Calibri font (our standard font style) that I am trying to xref into one drawing (a bunch of detail dwgs essentially). The detail looks fine in its own dwg - but when I xref the dwg into another dwg some text elements appear bold. I've check ALL of my font styles - nothing is selected to "bold"... I scale the x,y and z to the same scale. I can't fathom what else could control/effect this!?!?!
Appreciate any help...
::pulling hair out::
Thanks,
Christina

Z Values other than Zero usually cause this.
Expand the Units to as many decimal places as you can then look at the Z Value.
This can be infintessimal.
Also, physically type 0.000 for the Z value. It may be so small that it does not show up in the Value.

Thanks for the reply!
That did not clear up the issue though... 😞

Check the Z location of the text objects themselves.
i've seen this issue using truetype fonts.
Even if the text is at z=0, Forcing the text to a non-zero elevation and back again to zero seems to make it regen properly.
Aaaah. Indeed. Ok. Yes - that does work 🙂
Thank you!

Yea... I thought that using true type fonts would be easier for us - but instead it still causes some headaches. In general though - I do like using them.
Hi Yunlena, how did you manage to sort this again? My x-refs show bold text and it looks really ugly. Please help me resolve. Seems to happen often when dealing with site plans. Thanks
