Copy Paste Issue. _pasteclip Substitution

[Gambit]

Hi all,

 

I thought I just posted this but I dont see it any way I'm running Civil 3d 2010 on Windows 7. I'm copying some labels from one drawing and try to paste into another and I get this error in the command line.

 

Command: _pasteorig Substituting [sANSS___.TTF] for

[C:\r13\com\fonts\sas_____.pfb].

 

I have looked at other forums and no solutions.

 

Thanks Much!

Some or all of the text you copied was using sas_____.pfb font, but that font didn't exist in the destination drawing so AutoCAD switched all those texts to SansSerif TrueType font.

Thank you for the response and welcome Nestly,

 

So where did the one drawing get the font from then in the first place? I didn't download any fonts. Also if it just swapped the fonts it still should have shown up then. It just gives me the error and nothing else. I am having to create brand new drawings that will accept the copy pastes. Is there a fix that you, Nestly, or anyone else may know about?

 

Thanks again.

From what I can gather, PFB is an old font style that hasn't been supported in AutoCAD for many years, so if the drawing you were copying from is a recent drawing, it was probably also substituted with a shx or TrueType font, so you may just want to change all the PFB texts in your drawings to their TT equivalents, because that's how they are being displayed anyway.

 

I won't pretend to be a font expert, so I'll just post links to a couple of relevant documents.
