Encoding text

After opening or importing a drawing that contains text in a language different from the language of your operating system, you may find that the text is not displayed correctly. To display text correctly, you can change the encoding. Encoding determines the character set of text.

Encoding settings cannot correct the display of text outside the drawing window, such as keywords, filenames, and text entries in the Object manager and Object data manager dockers. You have to use code page settings in the Open or Import dialog boxes to set the proper characters for such text. For information about using code page settings, see “Starting and opening drawings” and “Importing files.”
