https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Help-with-autocad-linetypes/m-p/251902#M32867 I just spent most of the weekend trying to solve my DWG linetype problem. I couldn't figure out why some exported DWGs had no problem with line types while others did. <BR /> <BR /> For what its worth, it was the Greek, stupid: Any drawing layout with a Greek title produced a SHX file with a scrambled title, which TrueView couldn't understand or find. This also explains why none of the Archi-Talkers could figure out what the heck my problem was. <BR /> <BR /> In general these kinds of language problems are new in Windows 10. They seem to have changed the way non-English alphabets are handled and there are still a lot of issues. PDF or DOC Files with Greek names created in older versions of Windows will sometimes fail to open in WIN 10.

I need to specify substitute Autocad linetypes for conversion in the translator. <BR /> <BR /> Can someone please suggest default autoCAD linetype substitutes for the following ArchiCAD linetypes: "zigzag" and "X". I'm using Autodesk DWG TrueView to test the DWG output, but Autocad itself is a mystery to me.<BR /> <BR /> Also: TrueView complains that it can't find a SHX file for the DWG file. I suspect this has something to do with missing line types?</T></DIV> Sat, 13 Oct 2018 11:50:45 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Help-with-autocad-linetypes/m-p/251901#M32866 David Collins 2018-10-13T11:50:45Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Help-with-autocad-linetypes/m-p/251902#M32867 I just spent most of the weekend trying to solve my DWG linetype problem.
