Empty column in welded part list after switching to PDF

2D plans

Hello everyone , 

Here I have a slight problem in my drawings with solidworks , let me explain: When I want to take out my flow list (list of parameterized welded parts) it works without problems, my problem is when I want to pass my plan in PDF, the strangely on my PDF the column with the designation of the mechanical profile weld this void ... yet in my drawing it is still in the painting...  

I don't even understand how it's possible.

I attach 2 images for the visual

Small clarification I just tested with PDF Creator and there no problem the PDF comes out like the drawing.

but it's longer ....

This looks very much like a problem with the font not recognizing the symbol for the square. Dem memory for pdf exports you can check a few things so that the font is imported from SW.

After research, before saving your pdf, you go to option and you check embed fonts

Hello

According to your screenshots, you must check the nomenclature of the welded elements, if it is well informed.

In your case, the dimensions are missing.

To go to the nomenclature of welded parts (in the construction tree), and fill in the missing dimensions by clicking on the body by right-clicking, a small window appears with a nice Excel style table, add a line with the mention length, and to enter the dimensions click the body to make the dimensions appear if they appear, otherwise, stop and edit the body and add the desired missing dimensions, and  redo the manipulation as before and that's it... Sorry my pc and working, I can't take a screenshot...

Let me know if it doesn't work...

Alas, I just tested your solution and the fact of embedding the fonts doesn't change anything, the PDF remains empty despite everything

Hello

Try without the square symbol and put 80*80*3. Now it should work.

Hello

 

I'm going to try but I don't know how to edit a text in a predefined table template, I can't find how to do it.

It must be the name of your  welded construction that needs to be changed

For the export test, just modify the description in the part whose configuration you want to export and if the error comes from there soon you can correct the welded construction library part.

To change the description in the final part for the test > right-click on Welded Parts List Item, then Property and you modify the Description of the offending line(s)

You try your export.

 

If the export works, it's the symbol that is the problem and you'll have to modify the soldered construction library part so as not to reproduce the problem.

To do this, you go to the location of your library, open your tube and modify the description property of the part (file, property, or if part family, modification in the part family.)

Thank you indeed I noticed that in the sketch of some of my tube models it was missing the description line altogether I will modify according to those I see that break as I go along.

Problem solved. Thank you
