Import Cad File

[dsalvagni]

Does anyone know why this is happening?  When I import a cad file into my Titleblock template the text looks normal, However when I load the titleblock into myproject template the letters get filled in, in areas that they should not be.  We have multiple agencies that we would like to toggle on and off depending on who the project is for and i do not think you can add a visibility parameter to a pdf.

Are you using a .dwg to import a .pdf?

[dsalvagni]

No, it is a dwg.  it looks fine when I import the CAD file into the titleblock template but once i load the titleblock into the project it looks like that.

Why did you write this?

[vitorbortoncello]

try partially exploding it to convert to hacthes and detail lines

[dsalvagni]

If I explode the dwg i get the dreaded lines are too small to display

You could take a screenshot of the logo and insert a .png.

[dsalvagni]

Yeah but we have multiple agencies and I would not be able to toggle them on or off

I create unique title blocks for every project. Going by the logo that you posted, I'd be careful about having content in your models that might not be related to the project and possibly under NDAs of some sort.

I haven't looked yet but are you sure you can't use yes/no parameters to control visibility of the images?

[dsalvagni]

I do not see a visibility state to add a yes/no parameter for an imagie or pdf
