sheet number text not plotting???
« on: March 11, 2008, 09:47:42 AM »
I have a drawing that someone did in acad 2004.
The sheet number is not plotting, or on the "plot preview".
Even though it appears on the screen.

The text is NOT on a non-plot layer.
When I open it on mine (acad 2008), it looks and plots fine.
It does this on his pc and only one other pc.
Everyone else's pc, it appears fine.

Any suggestions?

Is the font being substituted on the offending PC's?
Although that shouldn't be a problem.

Found it!

The font on the offending pc's are missing a font.
A font style being used can not find helvetica condensed (shx file).

2008 does the same thing as 2004 with respect to the missing font, but I guess it handles the missing font differently. It substitutes it for the alternate font.
I went in and changed the font for the offending font style to an alternative, then it started showing up again.
Therefore, that was it.

Any ideas on where to get this font?

From a PC where this DOESN'T happen.  Better yet, put all SHX files on a network and add the path in the support path section of the options dialog box.
