[PCB_FORUM] Re: Searchable REF DES in PDF output

Ed

Take a look at Source Link solution 11147684

It has to do with fonts that are on your PC

It seems strange but if there are fonts in

C:Windows\Fonts that were longer than 32 characters

and the name changed this causes a problem for Cadence

Hi Larry, 
Thanks for the tip... I tried checking the box and it defaults to Courier...
the browse button shows no fonts available not even Courier... when I hit
the plot button Allegro goes away consistently without a warning. 
Do I need to setup a pointer somewhere for fonts in Allegro. 
It appears there are only the numbered ASCII fonts available in the tool. 
Regards, 
Ed

Ed,

In the Plot Setup, Windows menu do you have the Non-vectorized text 
button checked?   If not, give that a try.
