IDW symbols printing problem

[Anonymous]

Hello,

We are using Inventor 2012 professional, 2 seats. When we create a .dwg or .dwf file and dimension our parts the Diameter and Angle symbols print as the letter 'P".

The symbols show on the screen correctly, but do not print?

Has anyone else seen this, or know of a fix?

Thanks in advance.

You need to find the AIGDT font and get it back into the c:/windows/fonts folder. Seems there is some installation bug that deletes that file or something.

Font can be found here

might need to restart Inventor after you put the font there.. (maybe not though)

This seems to crop up when you install a new version of Inventor, then delete the older version.

We tried this and now we get the letter "Q", little closer but not quite what we need.

Been through this before.  Turned out the printer drivers needed updated/reinstalled.

holy crap.. I totally missed the whole part about it being fine on the screen but just not printing correctly..

This is 100% printer settings/driver issues.

Thank you for your response, we will look at the driver and settings. We are on a network printer would it be the printer on the network or the settings on our workstations?

I didnt do the actual work but i think it involved re-installing the network printer drivers after IT had updated them.
