Enabling Arabic Fonts in AutoCAD: Practical Tutorial

This video tutorial demonstrates how to enable and correctly display Arabic fonts in AutoCAD across all versions. It addresses a common issue where Arabic text either does not appear or shows as garbled images due to the lack of native Arabic language support in AutoCAD.


Key Technological Concepts and Features

  • Arabic font recognition issue in AutoCAD: AutoCAD does not natively support Arabic fonts or language packs, causing Arabic text to display incorrectly or not at all.

  • Manual installation of Arabic fonts: Users are guided to download a folder containing Arabic fonts (linked in the video description), copy all font files, and paste them into AutoCAD’s dedicated fonts directory.

  • File navigation: The process involves right-clicking the AutoCAD desktop icon, opening the file location, navigating to the fonts folder, and pasting the copied fonts there.

  • Verification: After pasting the fonts, reopening AutoCAD and loading the drawing shows the Arabic text correctly displayed.

  • Text editing and formatting: The tutorial explains how to write Arabic text in AutoCAD by using the text tool, adjusting font size, and changing text appearance (e.g., height) to suit the drawing.

  • Workaround for protected plans: If the drawing is locked or protected against text input, the presenter demonstrates creating a new text space outside the locked area to add Arabic text.


Product Features Highlighted

  • AutoCAD’s text tool functionality for inputting and formatting text.
  • The fonts folder in AutoCAD as the location for font files.
