    Default PLEASE HELP! I need help exporting file from Illustrator CS to Autocad

    Ok so heres my dilemma. When exporting to autocad (.dwf) My text or font is blocked out.(Just the "D" because it has a hollow inside) I already have created outlines for the font but for some reason the "D" in the text is filled in full. I know its the clipping mask that is created when converting to outlines. My problem is I can't figure out anything to do. I'm pretty proficent in Illustrator so don't be afraid to speak the lingo. THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH.

    So are the outlines standard linetypes and the D is a solid fill? when your export as a dwf file does the program export any font information...AutoCAD has a proprietary font style any font information is being transferred then you will have a problem. Im pretty good with autocad so describe what exactly its doing when you import the dwf file.

    Hey thanks for replying to me. Its a customer of mine and we just can figure it out. This is the name of the company: "Dewkett" Now as you can see the only letter with a solid fill and a hole in it is D. Now I created outlines which in turn negates the need for a font. So all the type is now just illustrations basically. From what I understand when you import it into autocad, its all transparent except the D as its just a solid fill in the middle.
    Thanks again
    Steve
    I can email the file if you would like, I'm seriously going insane!
