Export electrical diagrams from Xrelais to dxf-font problem

Hello

 

My problem is the following: our electrician creates his electrical diagrams on the Xrelais software, but we have to transmit them in dwg. The only export format  (common with Autocad) of Xrelais is dxf, but when exporting, the "Arial" font becomes "Standard", which causes problems with the position of the texts (off-sheet, extra spaces, overlapping writing, etc...).

There is no "Standard" font in Xrelais.....

Nothing found either in the advanced export settings....

 

Anyone have a trick to solve this problem?

 

Thank you

Hello

Wouldn't it be possible to make a modification when opening a file with autocad?

I had a similar problem with draftsight and I opened my dxf with solidworks to then save in DWG.

What seemed simple to me was the import parameters, like solid edge 2D

 

It's not a real answer but if it points to a possible solution....

Hello

Have you looked if it has the same font as the 2 software?

@SEPM: What annoys me about this manipulation is that I have about 400 folios... I wouldn't want to have to go through 2 software programs per folio.. I'll try to test...

 

@Tomalam: What is surprising is that the font used is present on both software: Arial. It's the dxf export that transforms Arial into Standard.

Hello

 the dxf can be exported in ASCII (text) mode from then on it is possible to open it with a text editor like notepad++ search and replace STANDARD by replacing the font

 

 

 

$TEXTSTYLE
  7
STANDARD
  9

 

in

 

 

$TEXTSTYLE
  7
test-txt
  9

 

test-txt  is a text style created in AutoCAD before import

In the text style you can choose the font used

 

you can also edit the "STANDARD" text style in autocad and change the font at this level

 

Kind regards

Hello

it is not a font that is saved in the DXF file but a text style

the style is defined separately in the DXF file "STYLE"

Xrelais certainly shouldn't export the style to its file

It is up to each software to convert it with the right font according to the chosen style

so open autocad redefine the "standard" STYLE open the files and resave them,

to incorporate style

 

Or else create a program of transformation into QuickBasic for example.
