Help Documentation
The product Help, and Driver and Peripheral Guide are available in the Help folder of the Install directory after the installation.
Point Cloud
You cannot view certain point cloud files in DWG TrueView if your graphics card does not support OpenGL® 3.3 or later. In addition, you cannot view these files in a Windows remote desktop session.
DWG Convert EXE's and ZIP's Fail
The Zip option with the DWG Convert now creates UTF-8 zip files. This means that if you package drawings that have names that included extended text font characters, the names will not display correctly. This is because zip utilities do not support UTF-8 format zip files. You need to use zip utilities such as 7-Zip to correctly display/extract files.
Opening Damaged Drawings
When opening a damaged drawing, a dialog box appears asking the user to fix the file with the Recover command. This command is not implemented in TrueView. Instead, use the Check and fix errors option as follows.
- Click the DWG Convert button.
- Select the damaged file.
- Click Conversion Setups.
- Select "Standard" and click New.
- Name the new setup (for example, Recover).
- In the Modify Conversion Setup dialog box, set the Conversion packaged type to Folder (set of files).
Note: Do not select in-place (overwrite files), as this may cause conversion errors. - In the Action area, select Check and fix errors, and click OK.
