Text style dialogue box

to a text style, the programme aborts. Anybody with the same
problem, anybody with a solution ?

Thanks. yes that is an option. Problem is you then have to assign
fonts by typing the name of the font. Evert tried typing
SwissBTculCond in a hurry ? Yup, it is a solution but I just feel
the dialogue box should work properly like it did in older releases.
A new release should not introduce new problems.

(defin c:mystyle ()
(command "-style" "stylename" "font_name" ....)
(command "-style" 'stylename2" "font_name" ...)

Thanks Mac I'll try that. Just two syntax errors, at first glance:
Not defIn, but defUn
and also "stylename2" not 'styleame2"
therefore:
(defun c:mystyle ()

It happens. Just thought it a good idea to correct it for the
benefit of non-lispers ( I invented that word just now.... )

Hi Hennie,
Talking about ZWCad Virtual Eps Plotter, you could take it as a some like JPEG plotter. It is especially for ZWCAD users who haven’t installed other system printers. You can evaluate the plot feature by this Virtual Plotter.
Furthermore, you could plot your drawing to an EPS file by this plotter and open it with other application supporting ESP format, i.e. Photoshop.

"hotkeys". I wish to the assign the command COPY to the key C. The
default command for C is CIRCLE. So, I first remove C=CIRCLE from
the list, then choose NEW, then assign COPY to the key C. Question
is how to keep the new list. I export it to an .ica file, say MY-
HOTKEYS.ICA. As soon as a new installation takes place, the old
default list is installed again. If I now import MY-HOTKEYS.ICA,
then the keys in MY-HOTKEYS.ICA are appended. Nothing is over-
written. I now have two commands assigned to the hotkey C, namely
COPY as well as CIRCLE. Seems the only way to get my custom hotkeys
back is to manually redefine them.

Every time when you have modified the aliases, I suppose you export the
register teble:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Chinaweal Longteng\ZWCAD 2009
Eng\Profiles\2008\Aliases]
Then you could recover your setting simply by double clicking on the
exported file after you install ZWCAD.

This is what my supplier told me to do and it works. In the customize
menu, go to the alias tab and selec import, select the *.ica file that
you waht to use, and instead of clicking on the open button, click on
the arrow beside it then click on OPEN (not append). This should give
you your customized alias/hotkeys.

the software would, in the future, carry a virtual PDF printer too. It
would really be convinient to be able to plot to a PDF file too, as we
do our reviews aand redlining in PDF's.

Actually you could download a pdf printer driver and add it to zwcad by
Add-A-Plotter Wizard.
And we would consider your advice. :-)

A mailing list can be very helpful to participants but can only be
as successful as the members make it. The more members the better.

very neat. I did not notice the APPEND / OPEN toggle - but then.,
neither did Support at ZWCAD.
A perfect example of how a mailing list can benefit the members. At
present we are only ten members. If everyone recruits 2 more
members, we will soon be 30, then 70 and so on. More problems will
be solved quicker.
Because a mailing list is not as visible as a web forum, it has to
be discovered . Do it - go recruit members please.

and it is working compatibly with ZWCAD, although I have heard reports
that not all PDF printer drivers are 100% compatible with ZWCAD (and
AutoCAD as well), making printing PDF files to be a bit troublesome.
Having one that is provided and supported by ZWCAD would help very
much in this cases.

users:
Upon opening a ZWCad created drawing, Autocad displays a message
warning that the dwg file was created by an application "NOT
DEVELOPED OR LICENSED" by Autocad. It then proceeds to open the
drawing, but some drawings (apparently bigger ones, a few megs) just
will not open and Autoicad crashes.
I went to a client and actually saw this happen. This means that I
cannot share my ZWcad drawings with Autocad users, a most
disconcerting state of affairs which may very well see me loose over
60 percent of clients.
Anybody with similar experience ?

Netherlands. I tested the EPS-plotter today and then opened the eps-
file in the freeware program Gimp, after installing the Ghostscript
plugin. It worked fine.
I agree on the wish to have a PDF plotter driver standard in ZwCAD.
That would help our customers too.
Best regards,

What file format do you save your ZWCAD drawing in?
We have experiences the warning message posted by ACAD, but not ACAD
crashing while opening our drawings

I normally save to release 2004.dwg , but experimented with release
2000.dwg as well. The same thing happens. Smaller drawings do work
in Autocad. The ones that crash are the bigger ones, 10megs. Some do
not open at all, Autocad just goes to sleep and pretends it has
never seen the drawing.

ZWCAD doesn't have a standard PDF virtual plotter driver for the moment,
here is a useful PDF virtual driver, it is for free and it is in English

It might help also to run AUDIT and PURGE before sending your drawings
the client.

pc may be short on ram. I thing Autocad gobbles more ram than ZW,
leaving the machine out of breath.

adjust the size of your Window's (OS) Virtual memory to as much as 3
times the size of your physical RAM.
