Text Clipping when plotting to PDF in AutoCAD for Mac

earthsquare — Mon, 22 Oct 2018 19:40:07 GMT

Hi,
While plotting or saving a pdf, the text at he bottom right corner is getting clipped.
Only part of it is getting printed, it happens only with a particular font 'unispace'.
The right portion is getting cut off.

Is there any way I can convert my text to poly lines ? I assume this will solve my problem.

Regards

@earthsquare

Clipped, as in you are not allowing for a wider margin and it is cut off? "bottom-right" would indicate that is the issue.

Can you post a screenshot of the problem, or the actual PDF?

Hi @earthsquare,

Which version of AutoCAD for Mac are you using? Can you tell me how you are producing your PDF?

I suggest that you create a named page setup and apply it to your drawing file.

Can you share your drawing then so I can take a look?

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply.

I had done the following to the font.
- its part of the logo.

- it required that the particular font had to be 75% of its original width.

- I did something (dont rem) to make that font look like I wanted it to be. Its still editable.

May be when I am printing now, the font is taking its original characteristics.

As a workaround, I brought the raster file of the text and filled it with solid hatch to get the required result.

Hi @earthsquare,

I am sorry for the delay but I just found your response.

Can you share a sample file with a pagesetup applied and your plot style too? Then, explain how you are creating the PDF step-by-step so I can make some suggestions.
