However, if the text was multiline text when the text reaches the end of the text block it will automatically wrap, causing this issue you see in the above image. If the text was single line text in AutoCAD it will continue to keep the text in the same line. This conversion can cause the text to change size. So, when Revit links or imports text from a DWG it converts the font from the SHX font into a TrueType. If the SHX font is not in this file Revit gets a little confused and tries to find the best substitute. It does not even include all the out of the box AutoCAD SHX fonts.
Out of the box this file has only a hand full of SHX fonts, see image below.
%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\įor Revit 2018 the path would be: %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit 2018 Default shxfontmap file To convert these SHX fonts, Revit looks at the shxfontmap.txt file located at An example of a TrueType font would be Arial, or any other font available in Microsoft Word. Revit dislikes these fonts so much that when DWG files are linked or imported it converts these SHX fonts into TrueType fonts (windows native fonts). Revit does not like SHX fonts, plain and simple. This has become the more common text style in recent years. As you add more text within the block it will automatically wrap to the next line, just like Microsoft Word. This type of text is typed within a text box with a specified width. Regardless of how much text you type, it will always be on a single line and the text box will continue to expand. Single-line is the oldest version of text in AutoCAD, and it does exactly what it sounds like it does – creates a single line of text. Before we can solve this, we need to examine the differences between multi-line text (mtext) and single-line text (text) in AutoCAD, and how Revit handles SHX fonts when importing or linking DWG files. The text is in a SHX font style, which are special fonts used in AutoCAD. This is normally directly related to text in AutoCAD. Text in Revit from DWG Link Text in AutoCAD Sometimes when DWG files are linked or imported, text gets formatted strangely and causes unwanted overlap, like what is shown in the image below. We can all agree that there are times when we need to link or import DWGs into Revit.
