Yup! That definitely fixes the problem. Thanks!

I will often get a drawing from a manufacturer of their product so I can place it into a drawing. More often than not, these drawings will consist of a lot of splines to make their shapes. Now, when I open them, they look fine. I can copy and paste them without issue (within the same drawing or copy...

I can confirm this problem is not isolated to you. However, I only seem to see it with fonts supplied via the drawing itself (architect supplied me a drawing and their text comes/goes as you zoom in/out. It always prints right though. And yes, I will get a blank for the font in the font window too. ...

For what it's worth. I just tried this on a different Windows computer running Windows 7 Pro and again, it uses Arial for the displayed and printed font despite having Helvetica loaded into the Windows Font folder and when one selects a font in QCAD, Helvetica shows up but it is really Arial letters...

I'll work with a file tomorrow when I'm at work...that is where the Windows machine is. It is a Windows 10 computer (build 2004) and QCAD is current 3.25.2 on both machines. Mind you, it is often the same file (my drawings are normally on my Google drive so as I go between work and home I am working...

I work with QCAD on both Mac and Windows OS. My preferred (strongly) font for some of my text is Helvetica. I've noticed that on the Mac OS, there is no problem. I select Helvetica and when I print (either to printer or to PDF) I get Helvetica. On my Windows based machines, While the drawing will in...

I have the opportunity to purchase a new computer and one one of the things I've noted with QCAD is that it is VERY easy for it to get bogged down on some drawings supplied by architects/manufacturers. If the drawing has a lot of splines, for instance or even just high detail, the program can run in...

This would be nice.

Since I started this topic...you can be assured that I'm voting for this one! One CAN fake it a couple of ways...a series of arcs (use a couple of radii and it looks okay) and I've done it with a polyline around the revision and "pull" the center of segments to make them more cloud like. But a tool ...

If you've had the need to use a revision cloud, adding this tool would be key.

While I've definitely bumped into the VERY large file issue, things I've done that have minimized its effects: Increase computer memory. On my Mac, at home, I have 16-24GB of RAM (depends if I have Parallels running as I allow 8GB for that). If possible, break the drawing down into smaller chunks. T...

Hello all.

I'm just a low-end user. I need the ability read ACAD files and do some minor revisions.
