PDF export
When exporting drawings in PDF format, the following settings must always be considered if the contents in infra CONVERT are to be machine-readable
- The drawing elements are output vectorized and not integrated into the PDF file as raster graphics.
See More > More > Drawing data format
- Text information is output encoded, usually in the form of embedded TrueType fonts.
See More > More > Font and Drawing data format, Keyword “PDF format”.
- The size of the PDF pages corresponds to the size of the drawing sheets.
- The PDF file can be multi-page.
Troubleshooting
Written characters not correctly displayed in DWG/DXF drawings
Description of error
Several characters, in particular graphic symbols, are not correctly displayed in infra CONVERT and cannot be read when stamping.
Examples:
Correcting error
Usually the relevant fonts have not been installed on the computer that is running infra CONVERT. For licensing reasons we are not able to include Siemens-specific →fonts in our delivery. The fonts written during export are executed in the export settings in NX; see File > Export > AutoCAD DXF/DWG… > Fonts.
