AHTOH Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Hello everybody. I am just wondered if anyone found the fix for nasty looking outlined fonts in layout. I always feel shame when my drawings compared ones made in Autocad. I can`t explain clients and colleagues why I still use FormZ for drafts when it has so many limitations and this fonts issue is one of them. I wrote to Support but it does not look like they are aware of a problem and know how to fix it. I was offered to change line weight to print one. Ind it does not address this. Best, Anton.

AHTOH Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 Besides: I see the same outlined fonts in FormZ 9 too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew West Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Anton Drafting has never been a form.z strength, especially when you compare it to a true drafting program like Autocad. However, I have on occasion used it for drafting and I find that the font you use is critical to a nice clean look. I personally like to use City Blueprint for my font which is a little old school but comes across well. AHTOH and Justin Montoya 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only workaround I see to produce more or less viable drawings is: To get your model to layout in a scale (say 1:50) Save as a Copy as legacy FZ 6.5 Rename a file from .fml to .fmz Open it with FormZ 6.5 as a model Get it to a Drafting environment and work in proper made app Of course if you have old FormZ.
