If your computer is missing a font that is included in a file you are importing, a PANOSE font matching dialog box appears and lets you substitute the font with a similar font.
AutoCAD Data Interchange Format (DXF) technical notes |
• | The program supports AutoCAD files from version R2.5 to 2013. |
• | Model space pages are imported as master pages. |
• | Solid and trace entities are filled. |
• | A point is imported as an ellipse of minimum size. |
• | Files exported as "Entities only" may not appear as expected in the Corel program because of a lack of header information. |
• | Justification of text entries may not be preserved, especially if fonts are replaced in the imported files. For best results, avoid justification of text. |
• | If the DXF file contains a font that is not on the user’s computer, the PANOSE font matching dialog box lets the user replace the font with an available one. |
