Known Limitations and Issues

  • Reference Manager does not currently support all files referenced by drawings. Unsupported references include text fonts not associated with a text style, OLE links, hyperlinks, database file links, PMP files, and external references to URLs on the Web. If Reference Manager encounters an xref to a URL, it reports the reference as "not found."
  • Edited paths for TrueType font files are ignored. AutoCAD uses the operating system to locate TrueType fonts that are referenced in drawings.
  • Most Asian-language TrueType fonts are saved in TTC files. Reference Manager incorrectly reports these fonts as TTF files. Reference Manager verifies whether the TrueType fonts referenced by AutoCAD drawing files are installed, but does not report the name or path of the TTC file. Thus, you will not be able to access file properties of these TrueType fonts on the shortcut menu.
