When you save SOLIDWORKS documents as DXF or DWG files, you can use the drawFontMap.txt mapping file to reverse map any SOLIDWORKS or Windows True Type fonts back into AutoCAD SHX or True Type fonts. The SOLIDWORKS or Windows True Type fonts are also available to use in SOLIDWORKS original documents. (To find the \Fonts folder, in the Run window, type %systemroot%\fonts.)
