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.
