Hello Wout,

I have problem getting correct font names from Dxf using CadLib (2.0.18.6).
I exported DXF from AutoCAD 2006 using DXF 2004 format with few TEXT entities typed with different fonts and sizes. The sizes are read OK, but in most cases I got ARIAL as font name instead of for example Tahoma or Comics Sans. I read the font name from ((DxfText)dxfEntity).Style.FontFamily. Please tell me where I have made mistake.

Second question is about units. When I get from Dxf (using Cadlib) some entity, for example DxfLine, what are the units for Start and End properties. I suppose that used units are milimeters, but Im not sure. I have searched Cadlib documentation and also the web, but I havent figured it out.

Thanks for help,

Termitt

Hi Termitt,

Can you attach one of your DXF files with the fonts? I'll check it out.

About the units: AutoCad's units are arbitrary, it can be either mm, or inches, or meters, whatever you decided, but it is not stored in the file.

Hi Wout,

thanks for quick reply.

'About the units: AutoCad's units are arbitrary, it can be either mm, or inches, or meters, whatever you decided, but it is not stored in the file.'
-> so all coordinates I get in mm, i suppose.

I will attach DXF with fonts as soon as I get to office (most probably thursday).

Hello Wout,

I get Arial as Font Name for every Text in attached file excepts Times New Roman.
Could you please investigate it?

Thank you,

Termitt

P.S.: Attached file is originaly ZIP renamed to TXT

Hi Termitt,

The zip seems corrupted, can you e-mail me the zip file?

Thanks,

Wout

Hi Termitt,

The font wasn't located properly in some cases and it's fixed in CadLib release 2.0.18.10.

Thanks for the report!

Hello Wout,

I am sorry for the delay, I have been busy last month.
Thank you for that repair, now the fonts are translated correctly.

Best regards,
Termitt
