When using the DXF/DWG export feature in SolidWorks PCB 2019.1, the TrueType Font (Arial in this case) is converted to Altium's default Stroke font. I have tried almost every combination of settings in the Export to AutoCAD GUI. Below is an example a SolidWorks PCB layout exported to a DWG file.
Is there anyway to fix this? Does this also happen when using Altium Designer's DXF export feature?
Right-o. Thanks for letting me know.
Chris, I don't use the PCB Add-In so I'm not sure on the functionality but is there any chance it can be saved out or have the design/layout created on a blank drawing sheet? There are other options related to the font types within that Save-As dialog box that are not shown from your Add-In ... I understand it would be an additional operation but here's hoping ...
Hey John,
Thanks for the reply.
I may not have made it clear in my posting, but I am using SolidWorks PCB, which is a re-skinned Altium PCB Designer owned and operated by the folks at SolidWorks. From that program, I am trying to export my PCB as a DXF.
I will try to import it into SolidWorks and then see if I can change the font there. Maybe then I can re-export it from SolidWorks.
Ask to be added to SPRs 1059360 and 1160536. This is an issue they are aware of. Unfortunately I don't know of anything we can do about it in the meantime.
