Hi,

When I try exporting my drawing to a DWG, it causes my dimensions and Notes to become distorted (pointing in wrong direction and a mess).

Any ideas how to fix it? I'm using ViaCad V9.

Regards,

Kyle

I am opening it with ViaCad V9 to see if everything looked fine. That's when i noticed the dimension issue. I am going to try opening it in Draftsight tomorrow morning.

The misplaced dimensions were there when I opened in Draftsight. I was able to simply move them back and now I'm fine. My drawings aren't too complicated, so it's not that much of an issue now. I will just draw in ViaCad, export DWG, open and modify in Draftsight.

FYI, I corrected several DWG dimension issues around build 1204 related to text placement. If you post an example, I'll see if it has been corrected for service pack 3.
