Mtext not visible right in only one computer

Hi Guys,

Mtext looks different in only one computer… I checked textstyle and its good. Only think I observed is ctb files also shows missing on plotting window… Could not find a solution… Please suggest some:(

How do you mean it looks different?

Is it displaying as a different font?

Can you post an example .dwg?

Do you get missing font warning messages when the file is opened?

Copy the ctb file to that computer, and save it in the same folder(s) as the other ctb files. You also may have to copy the Windows font file for that particular text style font over.

You could also transfer the dwg file to that computer using etransmit. This loads all xrefs, fonts, styles etc., into the output of the etransmit command.

Thanks for your help guys...

1. It looks different means, when I open in my computer its ok… But when I open in other computer its not fitting and shows like a bigger text.

2. Yes he is getting that window with missing shx file ( Shape file..??)… We are cancelling that and opening the drawings… I tried the command ”stylesmanager” and its opening his documents folder not like mine with plotsyles folder. For extra info we are opening the same drawing from the same server.

3. Also Can you help me , whenever he opening a new drawing its in a new AutoCAD… SDI value is 0… still not good…

Any time you get and ignore/dismiss that missing font message, you can rest assured that it will display differently, as it will substitute the ALTFONT (system variable name) defined font for the missing one. Try Dana's suggestion and use ETRANSMIT and you won't have that problem.

Specify in the PROGRAM DEFAULT settings on your computer that DWGVIEWER opens .dwg files to resolve your multiple instances of Autocad running with multiple drawings open.

Meanwhile I am checking the etransmit, Actually I set default as AutoCAD DWG Launcher and still not resolved the multiple CAD opening issue

Guysssssss,

Thats Solved all my issues... Hats off to both of you....

Glad you got it sorted out, sorry I inadvertently misnamed the application to use, DWG Launcher is the one you want to use.

Another way is to just open any new drawing from within the open Autocad window, instead of using WINDOWS to open them.

When you ETRANSMIT a drawing, it includes everything that will be needed to view a particular drawing, such as Xrefs, Linetypes, Textstyles, Dimension styles etc.

For the record..
