KOMPAS-3D v25

OEM to ANSI conversion

When importing documents, you can convert the encoding from DOS to Windows. It is necessary if the source file has been created in AutoCAD for DOS. To convert the encoding, please enable the Convert texts from OEM to ANSI setting on the Properties page.

Applying system styles to imported texts

Imported documents usually contain captions: text on the drawing, text on or below the leader landing, dimension captions, etc. When importing, there are two ways to write texts in the resulting document: write all texts with standard settings defined in the KOMPAS-3D document as default for the corresponding texts (matching text to system settings)

It is recommended to use matching to system settings if the source document contains a large number of non-standard texts, and you want to standardize these texts in the resulting document. If you want to preserve the original design of the text, please disable the matching.

To convert the captions to standard design, please enable the Match texts to system ones settings on the Properties page.

You can modify the settings of the resulting texts (font style, character height, row spacing, etc.) in the settings dialog box of the KOMPAS-3D current document. The settings are applied to all the captions of the corresponding type simultaneously. For example, to modify the character height in dimension captions, run the Setup — Parameters... — Current fragment command (Current drawing) — Dimensions — Label and enter the required value in the Height field in the dialog that appears.

To preserve the original text layout, please disable the Match texts to system ones setting.

Setting up text size

To set up the text size, please go to the Properties page and use the Text compression and Text height coefficient fields.
