    Are there still text problems when converting text between .skf and .dwg?

  2. I have no problems here to read a dwg file with text in ASK 9, but also in
    ASK 8 I have had no problems.

    The text problem is when saving to .dwg, the multi-line text turns into single line text.

  4. Sorry for the misunderstanding. If I draw in AKS 9 multiline text and saveas
    in dwg format, AutoCAD opens this file with - single line text. (i.e. not
    fixed yet).

    :-(

    I never thought of the mutiline text coverting to single line text as a
    problem.

    However there still is a problem where the text does not stay justified
    properly. Left justified are Ok but center and right justification do
    not stay that way when converted to DWG

    Sorry Ric,

    No I didn't search, but maybe putting it at the top of the list will get Autodesk's attention.

    Not to excuse autodesk, but to offer a band-aid: in autocad, text2mtext will convert dtext into mtext. It's an expresstool command, which means expresstools needs to be installed seprately. On the bright side, it comes free on the AutoCAD disc (and has for a few releases now.)

    if you cant fix it on the export end, at least there's a quick fix once in autocad. :)
