Dear All, I was hoping you could help me with something that has me tearing my hair out.

On Creo 5, I am having trouble exporting drawings to DWG.

On the left, is what the Creo drawing shows, and on the left, what loads up in DWG Trueview.

Does it have anything to do with the setting below?:

export_window.jpg

Does anyone know what's going on?

Thanks for reading!

Hi,

results of my testing follow ...

 

Test drawing:

test_drawing.png

 

In drawing and in model I set following detail option:

symbol_font asme

 

I installed symbol_asme.ttf into Windows. The file is located in E:\PTC\Creo5_050\Creo 5.0.5.0\Common Files\text\fonts directory on my computer.

 

I exported drawing into DWG in AutoCAD 2018 format and set following font mapping

font_mapping.png

 

When I open DWG in DWG TrueView 2019 I can see correct special characters.

 

DWG exported in AutoCAD 2000 format is incorrectly displayed in DWG TrueView 2019 I can see question marks instead of special characters.

 

That's all for now.
