Ahankhah Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Hello every body, enclosed is a dwg file with texts in Persian. Although the font of the current style is Arial.ttf (the one distributed with Windows XP), when I plot the drawing to printers, texts are bollixed. (Picture-1: Correct-Text) (Picture-2: Plotted-Text) Is there any one to know the reason and offer a way to resolve it?

Ahankhah Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) Hi every body, finally I found myself the reason and solved the problem. First of all, I must announce that THE PROBLEM IS NOT A BUG Of AutoCAD and it is due to the configuration of the printer. To config printer to print non-English characters, like Persian and Arabic (as well some mathematical and engineering characters like phi, alpha, Betta, ...) correctly, simply: 1- Open the configuration dialog of the printer 2- Select the Device and Documents Settings tab. 3- In the list box at top... 4- Expand Graphics section. 5- Select TrueType Text. 6- In the area beneath the list box... 7- Select TrueType as text radio button. 8- Press OK.

MSasu Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 You should check the extensions of those files – the plot.LOG file is legit, it store some features of the last plot action and/or plot stamp information. Not sure how the info stored there can be modified to harm you, but should never underestimate creativity of people with too much free time in hands. If your antivirus recognize it as virus you can erase it without issues - will only need to re-do all settings for print each time. If the second one is named acad.VLX, then seems that you have an AutoCAD virus – you can check one of those previous discussions for solutions: http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?51091 http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?58117 http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?68312 Also, it was better to start a new thread for your issue instead of appending to an un-related one; may ask a moderator to fix this for you.

naghoos Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 The extensions of those files are (ACAD.LSP and plot.log). the point is ,can I suppose that these files are the cause of my mis matching plot like the first post?: Error in Plotting Non-English Text Objects If there is any other way to solve it, please help me because I have HP DESIGN JET 510 in my office and cannot correct this problem when plotting everyday. then waste papers more and more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
