Copy text from Hebrew DWG file

Extraneous — Thu, 14 Jul 2022 09:59:38 GMT

I've got DWG files in Hebrew from my client in Israel. I want to translate texts in this drawings with for example Google Translate. The texts looks okay in Autocad, but when I'm trying to copy this text to clipboard and paste, it turns to an unreadable set of letters.

I sure there's a problem with encodings or codepages, or incorrect SHX fonts, but how to solve it?

DWG file and SHX font are in the attachment.

SHX font source is your problem: ask the sender to translate it all for you or change to TTF fonts so you can do what you want.

Hello pendean, i was asking Alexander ("Extraneous") to see if he managed to solve the issue, hoping to find a differente method than the ones you listed since they are not feasible in my situation. Thanks

@pLAB_00 There is nothing different in AutoCAD, sorry. But you are welcome to wait all you want of course.

FWIW Alexander tagged my earlier reply as the solution (see green checkmark?), so there is that to consider.

you got software like MIHebrew or WinHEB to convert this string to hebrew and then copy to google translate
