Batch plot to PDF popup window folders are in Chinese(?) symbols

[jimsullivan2294]

Hello,

I am using a new install of Autocad LT 2013 on a new Windows 10 Pro computer. The default save-to folder is my OneDrive folder. When I go to Print -> Batch Plot -> Publish (to PDF) my the default folders are in a different language (Chinese?- see attached screenshot). From there I can navigate backwards and get back to English (my preferred language) but don't know why it's happening in the first place. 

Any suggestions to avoid the language switch? FWIW, this may be a oneDrive issue- not sure which, yet.

good luck - jim

You need to be searching through Windows10 User forums for that system level issue. Explore there, I'll get you started here https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/system-files-are-displaying-in-chinese-languag...
and https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-10-dialogs-system-in-chinese/b55e8bee-...

FWIW LT2013 is not designed for Win10: there is that elephant in the room.
Did you remember to install the required update for it? It is best to keep your old software current "just in case" https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-lt/troubleshooting/caas/downloads/content/autocad-lt-...

Thank you,

Yes, everything is current regarding updates. Not saying it's right, but my last computer was W10 and worked well for a long time without this issue.

I never see any non-English (Chinese?) text anywhere else- No system dialogue boxes, etc. Just in AutoCaAD  during a batch plot to PDF.

good luck -jim

That's what they all say until that one day a Win10 or other adjacent software update kills it. Keep a backup plan in mind and ready to execute. Your clients can come to me if that happens too 😉

Something about your new setup most likely: did you get a chance to go through the earlier links I provided? Continue there as much as you can.

Test by disconnnecting from OneDrive yet?
