Issues with saving and loading dwg files

StefanChrist · Post by **StefanChrist** » 03 Sep 2018, 18:23

Hello Support,

when saving a drawing to a dwg-file using .SaveDWG I can open the created dwg file with another application like TrueView and everything seems to be fine. But loading the same file using .LoadDWG will create a drawing where the font is way heavier then it should and also the images added to the drawing get lost.

Could you please check this?
Thank you!

Hello Stefan,

Texts may appear thicker than they should be when TrueType fonts (TTF) are used instead of required SHX fonts. The SHX fonts are fonts created especially for AutoCAD drawings by Autodesk, they are composed of single line segments and are not solid-filled such as most TrueType fonts.

The raster images may get lost if they were added to a CAD drawing as CADImageEnt objects and the image files cannot be located at the file path specified through a CADImageDef.FileName property.

Please send the DWG file generated by a CADtoDWG.SaveAsDWG method to the Technical Support e-mail for investigation.
