Uploading fonts
When uploading .dwg files Buzzsaw only finds fonts in the AutoCAD font directory.
Microsoft Office XP and AutoCAD 2002
If you are using Office XP and AutoCAD 2002 (or earlier) you can not access your Buzzsaw
site through Network places due to an Office XP related problem.
Cimmetry Systems AutoVue
Buzzsaw includes the integration of Cimmetry Systems AutoVue product. AutoVue is a view
and mark up tool for DGN files and over 200 other file formats. The following known issues
exist regarding the operation of the AutoVue product within Buzzsaw:
■ Buzzsaw is unable disable the markup capability of AutoVue. As a result, Buzzsaw users
who are limited to "View" access are still able to invoke AutoVue markup tools. They are
unable to save anything to Buzzsaw.
■ AutoVue remains in the Pan or Magnifying Glass state when creating markup entities.
■ Marking up of icon files causes AutoVue to crash. Buzzsaw has disabled the markup
feature for icon files.
■ Using the AutoVue OLE Object tool within Buzzsaw can cause Buzzsaw to crash. The
problem has been reported to Cimmetry Systems. Manipulating OLE objects is not
recommended at this time.
■ Changing the background color of an AutoCAD drawing does not persist from Buzzsaw
session to session. Users must set the desired background color, if different from what
is contained in the DWG, with each viewing.
■ Tool tips for AutoVue do not operate when AutoVue is running inside Buzzsaw.
■ For users of the demonstration copy of AutoVue Professional, a patch is available from
the support console that addresses items related to file mark up. These problems are not
present in a purchased copy of AutoVue Professional.
Directory Path Length Limit
Due to a Windows limitation the full directory path of a file can not exceed 238 characters.
This number includes all the characters in your site name, project name, sub-folder name
(if any), and file name. If the total number of characters exceeds 238 you will not be able
to drag and drop the file. Bear this limitation in mind when naming files.
