The only thing I can see is the font is different.īut I have also tried re-doing it with the same standard font (ariel) I used before but that doesn't work either. What's more is I have done a similar thing only 2 days ago (draftsight drawing with text) which did work.ĭrew boxes in draftsight - added text and then managed to get it to save and render fannying around with creating a dummy drawing like at the beginning of this post. I'm proper scratching my head now as I can't work it out. The file when reopened in draftsight is complete with text. I've tried every option (i think) within the exporting options in draftsight and it will not render the text in preview on when imported into laser cut. Except the text in the shapes is missing.Ĭlick open and it opens in lasercut with the text missing from the shapes. This time when trying to import the file in, it is there from the get go. When saving a draftsight drawing, instead of going 'save as', I click 'export'.Īs you can see from the little window, everything is there.Ĭlick browse under the destination heading to make sure it exports as a DXF. What appears to be happening is I have to make a dummy drawing and save it to be able to use the previous saved drawing.įor information purposes, maybe the above is irrelevant as I have found a way around this. Go to lasercut and click to export drawing Aĭrawing A does not show in preview window, it is just blank.Ĭlick open and it renders nothing on lasercut.ĭrawing A now shows in preview and when exported, renders fine in lasercut. Save as DXF (call this drawing drawing A) I'm having mixed results using Draftsight.įirstly, I draw something up in draftsight. On the drawing for the extrusion profile, the extruder prefers to have the profile with the flat edge located horizontally across the bottom of the view. I can work the laser and cut simple things using the lasercut software. I have a part that is a cut-to-length piece of aluminum extrusion, for the sake of argument let say it has (1) flat edge. I have an OK grasp of Draftsight and know what type of DXF I should be saving/exporting as. I'll try and keep it as short, sweet and simple as possible as it's confusing me and may not be able to explain it properly without it sounding like gobbledy gook so bare with me. I apologize, I don't have a lot of time right now to play too much with this.Hi guys, this is going to be a long one so sit down with a cuppa.
#Draftsight forums install
How do the resulting registry values differ between the silent install and the interactive install? We can only really affect the capitalized items in the Properties table, so we may have to resort to registry adjustments after the install. Have you tried a silent install with LICENSETYPE=1 (or 0 or 2)? Looking at the Properties table in the MSI, I see "LICENSETYPE=-1", and looking in the ControlEvent table, there are a lot of possible options around the InstallWelcome&Next control that don't trigger with a "LICENSETYPE=-1". I'd be (or I am) pretty disgusted by this company at this point and not want to do anything, but that is probably not an acceptable solution for your situation. Sometimes however, there is no other choice.Īn MST is probably not going to fly because the repository moderators have no way to verify the validity, safety, etc. I'm not a fan of AHK because it seems to always need adjustments, and I get complaints that it goes haywire on some machines without a lot of error checking (that also needs adjustements). MSI (s) (4C:AC) : Product: DraftSight 2019 SP2 圆4 - Installation operation completed successfully.Įxtracted the MSI from the downloaded EXE and did the silent install. pdf, that I can place into Adobe InDesign, which is what Im using to lay out the book Im writing. The last step is to export the drawings from DraftSight into a format, either.

Proceed with uninstall and your current DraftSight Professional licenses will remain active. In DraftSight, Ive scaled them up to full size and dimensioned them so they can be used for laying out the plywood panels. If you will be reinstalling DraftSight on this same computer, no additional steps are required.
