When you look carefully at "CABEÇALHO" the Ç is an extended character, ie a alt+num so ZWcad is trying to display with possibly a font that does not have Ç as a character. Bricscad was OK. If there is a way of defining the font to be used for display in ZWcad then it may display correct.

Use inkskape (free) or lightburn has a 30 day demo. -edit might need a little bit of clean up but faster then tracing. highfive.dwg

Thank you for kindly reply. I mistake copy and paste to my own lisp. missing the definition of findplotarea. So I check original code and find that and copy and paste to my own lisp. it is work. Thank you again.

All fixed and much cleaner and removed numerous lacks... My recommendation is to work with this code instead of my last one...

*Should* is questionable. Just another way to go about things.

Hi Steve! It's an alternative. However, I don't just read the "block name" property, but I also read values that the user has entered into attribute fields. And as the language is Portuguese, even if I change the block name, the user can type texts in the attribute fields that contain these characters. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.

Have a lisp that pulls names from existing text. it would error if it contained any windows illegal characters. so i have it automatically check and replace with this line. (setq blkname (vl-string-translate "<>:\"/\\|?*" " _ " blkname)) ;replace ileagel characters with space and / with _ If you can't change the default font in ZWcad like BIGAL said. maybe list all the illegal characters and translate them to something else/similar that can be dispalyed.

I know that this is cheating but can you call the block something different, without the extended characters? A quick fix but maybe not the best fix

Nice, thanks Mhupp. Quite a lot in that, but will tidy up nicely I think for what I do. Will try to remember to post mine in here early next week

I've corrected my last version and it should be fully operational and ready for usage... If you still find some lacks, please report... M.R.

Is it possible that the UCS is not vertical? That might explain why the duplicates are offset like that. I assume you changed the colors of the extra lines for emphasis, so you can't just select them based on color. BigAl is right, the only sure solution is to prevent the problem. The glitch is upstream from you, right? You didn't convert something sent to you.

Hmm compare area of plines so get 2, get lower left point of both. delete say lowest. Re dims same thing get length so get 2 again compare say text point and delete lowest. A tricky bit of code. How many of these are you getting ? Best solution go back to who is making with a 2x4, should solve the problem.

I am not sure of the commands for ZWCAD, AutoCAD does have "saveall" command in the express tools ZWCAD should be able to run this I think: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/visual-lisp-autolisp-and-general/zoom-extents-all-opened-drawings-lisp-routine/td-p/5402517 Google reckons that this zooms all and saves all the open drawings, take out the zoom function and away you go. I haven't tried this yet but might in a moment
