Symbols not exporting to DWG

[ivanapa]

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?:

Does anyone know what's going on?

Thanks for reading!

Hi,

results of my testing follow ...

Test drawing:

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

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.

I uploaded dwg files.

Thanks Martin,

That worked pretty well. I had to stroke the special characters to get the diameter symbols to stop clashing with the text though.

Is there a way to get the 'special characters = symbol_asme.ttf ' setting into my dxf_export.pro? I try to set it but it is ignored (maybe because of the space between 'special' and 'characters')

Regards,

Ivan

Hi,

in my dxf_export.pro following mapping works well

map_font special_characters symbol_asme.ttf

... when exporting in 2018 format.

I guess in case of 2000 export format stroke special characters is necessary.
