Hello all
I have a problem with .dwg files made in AutoCad 2003 and opened in Intellicad 2000. When they are opened in the 2000 application they are formatted wrong and are missing text and sometimes even change fonts completely. Has anyone experienced this or perhaps even knows a fix for this annoying problem.
Thanks in advance to any replies.

Sometimes it happens if the proper TTFs are not installed. The program looks for the fonts configured in the style, and if they're not present, it uses other font available.

Anyway, you only have to use the style command and re configure the text style.

Implementation of TTF Fonts in ICAD also does not seem to be perfect. The insertion point and the justification gets all haywire if a drawing made in autocad is opened in ICAD. There seems to be no way to correct this except to convert to an shx font in the style.
