You opened a drawing file in version (AutoCAD 2010) or language product say (thai,chinese,korean) of AutoCAD or AutoCAD Mechanical 2010 that is different from the product that was used to create the file, and you noticed that certain objects were displayed incorrectly.
Changing the code page of a drawing will change the way the text is interpreted and displayed.
From 2010, this functionality has been added to DWG True View 2010.
You can do the following steps to make your text displayed properly while loading the drawing on different languages of the product.
Download DWG True View 2010 from the link given below,
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/mform?siteID=123112&id=9078813
Launch DWG True View 2010
Click the DWG Convert icon in the Quick Access toolbar.
In the DWG Convert Console -> Click Files Tree tab -> Add your drawing.
Select the correct Conversion setup.
In the Figure, I have converted a DWG created in 2004 Chinese Version to load them properly in AutoCAD Mechanical 2010.
Press Convert to change the drawing.

如果你用简体中文AutoCAD2004绘制的dwg图纸,然后用繁体中文AutoCAD打开这个文件,其中的文字标注将出现乱码。类似的问题也会出现在泰文,韩文,日文等双字节的软件中。
解决这个问题,您需要修改相应的代码页。这是因为AutoCAD2004是非Unicode的软件,AutoCAD2007已经支持Unicode环境了。
这个代码页转换的功能已经添加到了DWG True View2010 中,这样您就可以在不同语言的AutoCAD打开这些文件,而不再出现文字乱码的问题。
具体操作步骤如下:
从下面的链接下载DWG True View2010。
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/mform?siteID=123112&id=9078813
开启DWG True View2010
在快速按钮区里点取DWG Convert按钮
在DWG Convert的对话框中,点取File Tree添加文件。
选取正确的转换设置。
在附图Figure,是将2004简体中文的DWG转换为AutoCAD Mechanical2010版本。
然后点取转换,这个DWG文件的代码页就转换了。在AutoCAD2010里打开这个文件,将不再出现乱码问题。
