Frequently Asked Questions - Acme CAD Converter

1. If I convert a dwg file to a jpg file the result is very blocky. Fonts are unreadable even in the highest JPG quality. How can i improve the quality so that everything is readable?
   
   If fonts are unreadable, you should enlarge the size of image, not the JPG quality. And you can convert it into Gif format, the image of Gif format is more clear than the JPG format, and the filse size of Gif is smaller than the file size of JPG.
   
   
2. How can I set the lines thicker in acme cad converter?
   
   You can click the "Pen Width Set..." button in "Print configuration dialog" to set the lines width.
   
   
3. What's meaning of popup message "AcmeCadConverter.exe has been modified ! Please check virus !!!"?
   
   When you start the CADConverter, it will check itself to prevent virus. If CADConverter is modified, it will show the warning message. You can download it from our homepage(www.freefirestudio.com) again and reinstall it, but before this, you should check your computer and kill the virus.
   
   
4. When I load a cad file I get many .shx files that seeem to be related to fonts etc that keep popping up. Is there a way to eliminate this?
   
   You should set the correct serach path that the shx files locate, when CADConverter can find the shx file from the search paths, it don't ask you for selecting the shx file.
   You can download the latest version(ver 3.14), the new version don't ask you for selecting the shx file, but when it can't find the shx file, it can't display the text correctly. So you must set the correct search paths.
   
   
5. I've been trying to work with your software ACME CAD-Converter, but every time I open a new file I have to explode all the entities in my drawing, so the info is displayed right . Is there any other EASY way to work around this problem?
   
   The 3D graphics are ARX entity, it is a proxy entity, it is need ARX application to display it right in AutoCAD. If ther isn't ARX application, AutoCAD cann't display it too. But AcmeCADConverter don't support ARX application, so it cann't be displayed right in AcmeCADConverter. You can save the dwg file into R12 format by AutoCAD (not by AcmeCADConverter). AcmeCADConverter can display it right if the 3D graphics can be saved into R12 format. And there haven't any easy way to solve the problem.
