Stacking Text on Vertical Dims

Post by Neale_E »

I am a self employed designer/draughtsman and one of my Packages is Tekla - from which I have to produce many drawings for distribution in PDF format.

I have recently downloaded the trial version of PDF Xchange 4 Pro to try and see if it will resolve some or all of my PDF creation problems.

I have however hit an unexpected problem -when the PDF is created the dimension text on vertical dimensions becomes 'stacked' rather than linear as it started out. Hoizontal dimensions are unafected.

This makes the text unreadable.

I have had a search here and looked through the software options but can't see anything which might change this.

Can anyone help ?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Neale_E,

Yes your problem seems similar to the one Anders described.
We would love if you could attach a sample file so that we have it for investigation.

Also something that is helping the ACad guys which you might try as a temporary work around is to print the page in portrait mode - this produces correct texts, and then if needed rotate the PDF page once it is created.

Best,
Stefan

Stefan,

Thanks for the reply and sugestionS - I have hopefully attached a sample drawing.

I did give creating the drawing in Portrait a couple of tries but still comes out landscape with the same results - will look further into this.

Hi Neale_E,

the team have found the cause and corrected it. The fix will be available in the next build release expected later in this Autumn.
