Inventor View

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

I was wondering if anybody can help me out with issue it would be much appreciated.

So, I found a way to convert an Invetor drawing to PDF using the Inventor View (by means of using the printing function). However, I've noticed that when it converts to PDF it leaves some symbols out (i.e. diameter symbol, tolerance symbol, etc.).

Do I need to change some properties in order to avoid this?

Hi! The behavior does not sound right to me. Could you do a quick test for me? Try saving the drawing file as DWF (or DWFx). Do you see the same problem? If yes, could you post the drawing file and its reference ipt iam files here or send them to me?

Many thanks!

Try properties for your pdf printer and see if there is a similar setting:

There is no need to use Inventor viewer to create a PDF file of a drawing.

It can be done directly from Inventor. Either by printing to a PDF printer (cutepdf if you don't have acrobat) or you can do a save copy as and pick pdf or even export pdf.

Or is this on a computer that does not have Inventor installed? If so you need to install the AIGDT font on that computer.

No, unfortunately Inventor isn't installed into the computer, only the Inventor Viewer. But, I will try all these suggestions and let you know what results I come up with.

Just to give you an idea of what the results are, here is what happens when I convert the file into a PDF using Inventor View

Instead of the actual symbol, in this case it would be the diameter symbol, I get this result instead.
