IMPORTING DWG ISSUES

[Matt Hagen]

In trying to import a DWG file, the cladding tags are importing as symbols and changing the last letter/number in each tag to a different font and italics. Is there a way to ungroup all the symbols so I can change the text style and font type or an import setting I can change?

Hello Matt,

 

We were able to see why the last char from the text is imported not as expected - the formatting is at the end of the DWG text, but it is actually not used for any of the text chars. The formatting has been wrongly added there - the DWG itself has not been originally created inside AutoCAD and actually such formatting cannot be added from inside there. AutoCAD however checks the case properly and shows the text correctly, while we have not expected such a case - right now, due to a failure to find a char, to which to apply it, we just apply it to the last char. An engineer worked on this issue and proposed a fix, which will be included in a future Vectorworks release/service pack. Until then, please use the attached document, which we created for you.

 

Thank you for finding this problem and reporting it!

 

Best regards,

Nina

Thank you so much. Any chance you can apply that fix to the other 3 floors Ive attached this time please?
