GD&T Report Font Issues

I recently ran into an issue when reviewing reports that shows the following for a true position measurement in a CAD view:



I did some digging on both of our CMM stations thinking that one of them may have an oddball setting or a corrupt font file but both stations exhibit this behavior when printing/saving reports to .pdf. However, the feature control frame is showing as it should in the body of the report, just not in the CAD view. I was wondering if anyone has encountered this issue and knew of a fix for it.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
  • Might be the pdf is created in too high resolution, needing too much RAM, so something must give.

    Check MaxPrintResolution and MaxTextPrintResolution in Settings Editor - really no need to go above 600 DPI (dots per inch) there (screens are around 100).

    It might also be a problem of access rights - have you tested starting PC-DMIS with right click + Run as Admin, is the behaviour the same?

    This worked like an absolute charm! I tried the MaxPrintResolution and MaxTextResolution first but they didn't pan out. However, they were set to 1,000,000 and I have noticed that printing/saving to .pdf occurs without the slight (but noticeable) hiccup from the converter. So I tried activating the "run as administrator function" in compatibility mode and my GD&T is now reporting out perfectly.

    Thanks for looking out!
