I have decided to use 2D labels instead in Sections / Elevations with various automatic features instead of having annotation text in 3D.<BR /> Another reason, why I have decided that 2D labels use is better, because 3D-generated text has quite a lot of polygons. That means PDF and DWG will be heavier. Plus 3D text cannot be understood by any programs as a text (if, for example, will appear some specific management program, that recognises text in PDF and extract some useful information automatically).<BR /> <BR /> The only way how you can solve this problem - to use AutoCAD style font, that has only one line and no surfaces. Maybe you need even "model" your own font and make some automatic 3D text generator.
