Importing DXF files from JWW
From a QCAD user:
Re: Importing DXF files from JWW
Please note that such files are not automatically recognised. In my opinion, this is not possible in a reliable manner.
The procedure is as follows:
- File > Open
- In the file dialog select the filter "JWW DXF file, Shift-JIS encoded"
- Open the file
If you still see question marks, the font that is used might not contain Japanese glyphs (e.g. "Standard"). You can substitute the font with another one as follows:
- Edit > Substitute Fonts
- Change for example "Standard" to "Arial" or another font on your system that contains Japanese glyphs and uses Unicode.
