The geometry has exported successfully, but the MTEXT component export is not satisfactory. Only a few texts are exported (4 out of 23 entities), the texts are much too large, and their latch points are not located inside the polyline they are associated with.
The test size appears to not be editable in the CAD software, and even if it was, it would be confusing, because its latch point is outside its polygon.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
