Fonts in dwg

When I export a SW drawing to DWG, the text font changes to "SWText". Is
there any way to change this font ? Or am I doomed to always have the
SWText-font in DWG:s ?

 

When I export a SW drawing to DWG, the text font changes to "SWText".

Best way I have found around this is to create an *.dwg in Autocad with
all your border, scale, layers, styles ect and save it as *.dwg I
called mine "sw_import.dwg" and make it read only. Do the normal save
as *.dwg inside SW (best to remove borders) to your file name of choice
*.dwg. Open your "swimport.dwg" with Acad and insert your saved SW.dwg
as a block ( file name cannot contain any spaces) , position, scale and
explode. All fonts, dims ect should be per your sw_import.dwg, the only
thing you may have to do is align your layer correctly with the drawing
entities. As it is read only you will have to save as a differnt name
thus preserving your *.dwg template.
Hope this helps.

 

Hi There-

Option 1 - output to R12 DWG format if your annotation & geometry can
tolerate this (some stuff not supported & therefore a natural
"filter").

Option 2 - Live with it -> where I'm at today

Option 3 - Acad Technique - Use modify properties & filter to select
all text and modify all text properties to STANDARD. PURGE unused
SWtext from dwg.

Option 4 - DXF Text Technique - Output to DXF - Do global replace of
"SWtext" with "Standard" in a text editor and read in to ACAD.
Accomplishes the same as above but prior to read in.

I hate this too, by the way. SW to acad is not to good on the acad
end.

Also note that the mentioned pre-made-template-then-input-SWdwg is
great for getting the dimstyles, text size and so on right (or even
better just start a drawing from a prototype you like), but will not
purge the "SWtext" definition as it is in use in the inserted block.
