Acme rendering module output options
Group	Option	Description
General	Application location	The location on the Meridian Enterprise Server computer where the Acme CAD Converter software is installed. For example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Acme CAD Converter\AcmeCADConverter.exe. This option is set automatically if Acme CAD Converter was installed by a setup program. If it was installed from an archive file, this option must be set manually.
General	Create conversion report	If enabled, generates a report of the rendering process that can be used to troubleshoot unexpected results. The report is saved in <WindowsTEMPFolder>\BCTemp\AcmeRender\<SourceFileName>.log where <WindowsTEMPFolder> is the path set in the Windows TEMP environment variable and <SourceFileName> is the name of the rendition source file, for example, C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Temp\MyDrawing.dwg. The contents of the report are described in the Acme CAD convertor help.
Options	Use job advanced rendering settings	Select this option if the page size and orientation are stored as property values for the source documents and the corresponding options of the publishing job are selected as described in Configure Rendering Options. If those options are not selected, select values from Default page size and Default orientation.
Options	Update title blocks before rendering	If enabled and the Acme CAD Converter is installed on the rendering node, the title blocks in the document will be updated from the document properties before the document is rendered. If disabled or the application is not installed on the rendering node, the update is skipped.
Options	Font search path	Semi-colon separated list that defines the paths to search for SHX font files that are used in the source drawings being rendered. For example, C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2021\Fonts;f:\RealDWG\2021_64. If a font is not found in a path, the text might be rendered incorrectly.
Options	Substitute fonts	If enabled, text fonts that are specified in the source drawings are substituted with different fonts during rendering. If disabled, the fonts are not substituted and the original fonts are rendered if they can be found in the path specified for Font search path.
Options	TrueType fonts only	If enabled, only TrueType fonts are substituted. If disabled, TrueType and SHX type fonts are substituted.
Options	Big font	Name of the big font file to use for rendering.
Options	Small font	Name of the small font file to use for rendering.
Options	TrueType font	Name of the TrueType font file to use for rendering.
