Drawing Borders to Solidworks
Drawing Borders to Solidworks
(OP)
I am in the process of converting my AutoCad border drawing to SW. Just wondering if there is a way to change the WIDTH of my Roman S font once it has been converted to a SW template.
Thanks
Thanks

Is the Roman S font a True Type Font? SW only uses TTFs.

You'll be better off. Hell, we even use Arial in Autocad now.

Do not copy anything from AutoCAD. Create your border from scratch, you will have a lot less trouble down the road. We went down that road years ago.

However using the Text is useless! You browse the web and find a True type font that looks about like you want and use that instead of trying to make your ACAD fonts work... or use and existing one in your windows. However if you use a customized on from the web, if you send out your SW drawings and they don't have it if could cause some problems. I would still use the borders or at least as much of it as you can.

RE: Drawing Borders to Solidworks
I think SW has a font called SW-romns.ttf or something similar which is the TTF equivalent of ACADs ROMANS-S font. I can't check because I've banished ACAD from my computers.

You were very close CBL.
The only time I ever bring anything from ACAD into SW, is for geometry reference.
