I have a few comment and questions:

1. The last row of the Label is shorter than the others. Can you make it so that all rows are the same length? If so, does it export correctly then?

2. Do you export from a Section View or a Layout? Does it work incorrectly in both cases?

3. Do you have any Font Conversion settings set in the DXF-DWG Translation Setup Dialog? In the Settings panel of the Dialog, under Attributes > Font Conversion, you can define what Archicad font should be converted to what AutoCAD font. If you set up such a conversion, does that make any difference?

Hi there,

Thank you for raising this issue.

This problem is caused by a long-standing known issue: DEF-3028. When exporting to DWG, the text in the labels shifts because some space characters are added, resulting in the wrong alignment.

I've linked your report to the defect entry to highlight for Product Management that this issue still occurs for users. Unfortunately, it is not considered a critical issue at the moment, but the more reports come in about it, the more likely it will be fixed in the future.

The only cosmetic workaround I found when using a frame is to add an offset to it so the text remains inside, even with the shifted alignment. (If there's no frame, the issue is less visible with the left alignment selected.)

I'm sorry for the inconvenience this defect might cause.

Kind regards,
Kornél
