carpalmer Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 VW12 / XP Since upgrading to VW12 I'm having font problems... my callout text, elevation benchmark PIO, drawing title PIO, come back from the plotting house in the wrong font and in a very light line weight! Other text in file plots OK. Plotting house DOES NOT plot directly from Vectorworks since he says it takes way too long. He transfers file to REPRODESK, and then plots. He's ALWAYS done that, but had no problems with VW11.5. Any suggestions on how yo solve this? My default font is Arial Narrow. Quote Link to comment
alanmac Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Use pdf's instead. That way you can review the files with Acrobat Reader as your printer will see them. Use a free pdf program to create them such as 995pdf which will create up to A0 sized pdf's. Alan Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Carpalmer, What type of file are you sending them and what printer do you have set when you save this file type for them? Quote Link to comment
carpalmer Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 Thanks Katie, I send them an MCD file, and my print set up is usually for an Epson or an HP desktop inkjet printers (not plotters, both in-house printers). Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 What version of Vw are they printing from? Are they using the full application or a viewer ? You can't print a MCD file through Reprodesk, so there's another step there that I am confused about. Quote Link to comment
