Embedded Excel file interfering with our Standard font file (Architxt.shx)

[mhudson]

We have a finish schedule drawing with an embedded excel file. When we open up that particular file, any other files that we open from that point forward have the standard font kicked into another type.

We run ACAD2007 with Architext as our standard font.

Thanks for any input!

Hi

Is the embedded Excel file an OLE Object or an AutoCAD Object ie a Table?

Have a good one, Mike

It is a OLE object.

Here's something else interesting. As mentioned before, when I open up any subsequent drawings after opening the drawing containing the excel files, the fonts are different. Additionally, if I modify anything in any drawing that was opened before, the same effect eventually occurs. The attached sample shows a tag that displays normally. But when I move that tag, the attribute info changes font types. Also, if I perform a print preview on the same drawing that is displaying normally, the preview shows the modified fonts

interesting......

Hi

Within AutoCAD are you using TrueType or SHX fonts?

If TrueType(s), what TrueType(s), and what TrueType(s) are you using in Excel?

Have a good one, Mike

hey Mike

We use a SHX font file (architxt) in AutoCAD and a truetype (Arial) in the Excel file.
