To this purpose the font mapping tables can be used. Sometimes it may be necessary to use only some types of font for a drawing, or to convert the fonts used into different fonts. With progeCAD it is possible to specify the font to be used in place of other fonts. The fonts used for the drawing''s text depend on the text''s style.
USING VB WITH PROGECAD PC
If when progeCAD was installed on your PC an AutoCAD installation is already present, the font path will be automatically added to the standard ones. This guarantees a perfect display of any project using the simplex.shx font.
You can add this path too (For ex.: C:AutoCAD LT 2000Fonts C:AutoCAD LT 2000Support) or copy this font to the folder Fonts of AutoCAD 2000. For the 2000 version of AutoCAD the simplex font can be found Support directory. For ex.: C:Program FilesAutoCAD R14Fonts. To do this, open the Tools menu, under Options in Path/File, in Fonts add the fonts'' installation path. So if anybody complains to you regarding slow operations in progeCAD, probably it is because of the true-type fonts and you can advise them to change to any SHX fonts and the increase in speed in tremendous - especially with slow computersĪnyone who owns a regular AutoCAD licence can use, besides the numerous fonts available with progeCAD, also the fonts supplied with AutoCAD. Immediately everything was normal and fast. I suspected on the true-type fonts and changed them to Roman-S. It was only a small 250 KB file but zooming & panning on the dual core computer was slow and it became heavy on the system. We, in our office use Roman-S only - we have never used true-type). (Earlier they were using only SHX fonts - Roman-S.
Yesterday I accidentally found out from the drawings sent by my structural engineer - Mr.Narendrakumar who has 15Ĭopies of progeCAD - that his office was now using True Type fonts. And my Home computer is Dual Core and that too handles progeCAD quite well. But I kept on telling them that my staff & I had no problems like this at all. They have mixed configurations, from Dual Core to Core-i3. Two of my friends were complaining to me that progeCAD is very slow and heavy on their computers.
