Flow arrow of pipe label is not visible

Problem

When a SEW operation is written into the DXF using the new DXF export tool without GEONIS being installed, the flow arrows of the pipe label are not visible.

Cause

The flow arrow uses the GEONIS font GEOCOM_SYMBOLE.TTF which is automatically installed with GEONIS.

Our DXF export developer could bypass the problem if the flow arrow were displayed as a single symbol. However, as soon as this special character is embedded within a text body, it becomes very difficult to "draw" the special character as a block in the DXF. Unfortunately, our developer has not yet found a solution for the problem of combined information of text and special characters. It is still unclear whether a solution for this problem can be implemented in the DXF export.

Solution

Send the customer the font below along with the DXF. The font can be installed by dragging and dropping it into the folder C:\Windows\Fonts. Then the flow arrow will also be visible in the DXF.

Alternatively

The suggested workaround is to change the GEONIS label definition for the pipe labeling so that instead of the GEOCOM font, the standard Windows font Cambria is used. Cambria contains an arrow similar to the one previously used. The flow arrows are generated by the OBM formula "HRichtung*". The font could be set there.

→ g

<FNT name="Cambria" >%REPLACESTR(%REPLACESTR(%DIR();<;←);>;→)</FNT>

(instead of <FNT name="GEOCOM Symbole" >%REPLACESTR(%REPLACESTR(%DIR();<;f);>;g)</FNT>)
