japanese font can't be used
« on: February 02, 2009, 03:32:13 PM »
I'd like to use Japanese font on LazyCam.
I can see Japanese font name on font window when I select "TEXT" tab.
But Japanese charactor can't be dragged. 
Could you tell me how to do.

Possibly you could use the font in your CAD program and save as a 11/12 ASCII dxf and import that into LazyCam?

What is a 11/12 ASCII dxf? Is ther any difference between a 11/12 ASCII dxf and just dxf?
I tried to import dxf file which I made by visio. But I couldn't see any charactors on LazyCam.

It's just a type of dxf that seems to be the best for LazyCam.

As for just a "regular" dxf, I'm sure it's a certain type that you're using, it just doesn't specify which type.

Hi, k.kuramochi

Post your dxf file so we can look at it.

Do you have the Ignore "Text Entities" box un-checked in Setup, Loading Options in LazyCam.

Hi, k.kuramochi

Got your dxf, Several issues, The file name isn't recognized, I renamed it ttest.dxf, It's standard dxf AC1014 format but your Japanese Font is not recognized by LazyCam, Only 2 of my cad programs would even see it as Font's, See below.

There is a Autodesk/Autocad utility that may convert the format for you.

Direct to the 2 files you may need:  http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=8109007&linkID=9240618

Hope this Helps, Chip
