DXF Curves And Stroke Fonts Seem To Convert I |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer has a .DXF file from Autosketch which seems to convert improperly with the latest GRAPHCNV.EXE. The curve frame is made a visible part of the drawing. The printout from Autosketch shows only the rounded curve. The customer also notes that the conversion is very slow. Drawings with no curves convert very quickly. Also, the stroke fonts (Standard and Roman S) don't convert properly. According to the customer: "They should be converted into penstroke fonts so that they will fit in the same dimension spaces and the same graphic placement. The monospaced letter fonts substituted by GRAPHCNV take more space than the penstroke fonts, causing overlaps." Solutions: The file is supplying generated points plus guide lines. Guide lines are used in .DXF files for help in drawing circles, arcs and ellipses. They should not view nor print. WordPerfect for Windows is displaying them. The .DXF file views and prints fine in WP 5.1 DOS. As far as the amount of time it takes to convert and display the curved line, WP has to generate a polygon shape for every line segment from DXF format. This means that four points have to be calculated for each line segment, and on curved lines it requires more. That is why it takes so long to display. Right now DXF format only converts as a stick font, which means that WP doesn't calculate the amount of space the stroke font takes. This is also an enhancement to the DXF conversion code.
