Font style conversion

[jkershaw]

I'm using AC 18 on and iMac 27" running Yosemite.

I'm attempting to create a DWG translator that will export fonts correctly. I used the font-style conversion table to do this, but it's still coming out incorrectly. I suspect I need to create a DWG template that further specifies what those styles translate into when opened in AutoCAD, but I have no idea how to do so.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

I'm just guessing here and this may be a silly question.
But do you have the 'DA Swiss' fonts available on the machine that you are opening the file on with AutoCAD?

Also can't AutoCAD use Windows Fonts these days?

Try asking for a DXF or DWG from the person you are translating for. Make sure it includes those styles, then attach it as shown below.
