    Default Symbol Translator

    Hi I am facing the problem of symbol translation, I found the way out but need proper and permanent solution to this problem.

    The Part was modeled in 3D in Autodesk Inventor (*.IPT) and a Drawing was created there (*.IDV) with a Hole Note showing the properties of Hole.

    This was later saved as AutoCAD Drawing. Here the Hole note information was not correctly translated as the symbols used for Hole Note are GD&T symbols, mixed with Chinese text.




    I need proper and permanent solution for this.
    Help me out

    That's ASCII text. The hole data is not shown in its typical inventor format...

    ...so I'm guessing you modified it for your specific needs. Maybe create/save/save as your drawings in the Inventor *.dwg format instead of the *.idw format and see if the issue persists.

    The previous screenshot was from an *.idw. This is from the same drawing saved as a *.dwg and opened in AutoCAD:

    Drawings are saved in .dwg format only. Nothing was modified, simply drawing as copied from 3D to 2D using specific tool. Actually inventor is used or not that is also not surety because drawing was sent to us via client and when we received it, it was in a same format which my previous screenshot shows.

    Your 1st post states it was a direct Inventor to AutoCAD translation, and I have not been able to duplicate the problem. Now you are saying SolidWorks is involved, which may be the source of your issues. Try keeping SolidWorks out of the workflow, and see if the problem persists.
