The H-Factor

Reducing Entropy

More and more often we are hearing from customers that cannot submit a drawing file that uses ‘foreign’ fonts, just those that AutoCAD ships with. We added an option in the HydraCAD updates from a few months ago that can fix this for you.

Pick HcadTool->Modify->Attribute->Expand Fractions or type in EXF

This will start a command which will turn the text in all HydraCAD items into a standard AutoCAD font (romans). It will also expand the fractions (the only special keys we have defined in our font styles) into regular text

After you have one this, you can go into the AutoCAD STYLE command and pick whatever font you like
