Converting AutoCAD Drawing to dxf file

Anonymous — Wed, 13 Apr 2016 09:11:24 GMT

Hi,

Kindly assist us with an issue with the AutoCAD drawing converting to dxf file. The figures are mostly crossing the border of the table after the conveetion. We already applied the service pack 1 for AutoCAD and it’s still the same issue.

See attached converted dxf file.

Thanks.

Regards,

Ericson Dorado

What is your AutoCAD version? What is your AutoCAD variant?
What format DXF are you trying to create? What command are you using?

Are you actually using a TABLE object type in AutoCAD? Or just lines and single TEXT objects?
What font are your text styles using?

I see the mess on the right side, but it's not messy at all at the bottom: so what is the difference?

As far as i know dxf do not include local fonts when they are created using the saveas method.

When i open the DXF i get the missing font issue.

I believe you can include the font by using the ETRANSMIT command.

Good morning @Anonymous,

Welcome to the forums!

I'm looking at your dxf file and see that text running over the lines in your table. Can you attach your original drawing to see if I can help to improve the process for you?
