Fonts in Export

For all exports, TrueType fonts can be used if properly installed and the naming follows the standard convention. For those fonts that don’t follow the convention, it is usually possible to find them manually in the destination software – this should only need doing the once.

For AVEVA fonts, the folder %AVEVA_DESIGN_EXE%\autodraftfonts (or a copy of it) must be added to the correct place in the destination software. Refer to Setting a Font Path in AutoCAD and Setting a font path in MicroStation for further information.

The AVEVA Symbol font is available as both a TrueType font and as an AVEVA font. Many of the symbols defined in it are now available in many TrueType fonts, although a few characters may be rendered differently. When using TrueType fonts, it may be worth looking at using the characters available in the relevant font to see if they are handled better by the destination software.
