The custom line style is wrong displayed in the PDF file



Problem:

The custom line style is wrong displayed in the PDF file, which was generated from a AutoCAD DWG file via the ProjectWise i-Model Composition Server for PDF Server

Solution:

The DWG custom line style file - LIN - can contain embedded symbols for example from a SHX font.

You can check that if you open the   LIN file with Notepad…

 

*SWER, ---/----/----

A,.625,[SWER3,PCA.shx,s=.25,x=-.25,y=-.125],.625

*SWERUG, --/--  --/--  --/--

A,.5,[SWER3,PCA.shx,s=.25,x=-.25,y=-.125],.3,-.3

*FENCE1, ---/----/----

A,.625,-.2,[SWER3,PCA.shx,s=.15,x=-.19,y=-.09],.625

 

In this LIN file were symbols from font SWER3.SHX and PCA.SHX embedded.

The problem was solved, after the fonts SWER3.SHX and PCA.SHX were stored in the MicroStation font directory of the ProjectWise i-Model Composition Server for PDF Server
