Archicad Labels to DWG

Ahmed_K — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 18:15:22 GMT

Hi,

When i export a plan to autocad, all labels that uses GDL are not exported correctly , the text alignement is wrong,

Here is the Zone label , and it's settings

In autocad, it looks like that :

it's imported as a Block,

When i open the block , the text anchor points are in the middle , where they should be, and the text alignement parameter is set correctly to " Center" :

i noticed there is some extra "space caracters in the text field , :

When i delete that extra spaces, it looks correct,

Does someone knows this issue and how to fix it ??

Operating system used: Windows 11

Notepad does not interperate it as a simple word space, but a word space and a forward slash...

BALCONY/ / / / / / / / / /

And it is only the last line...

For simple labels like that one, dont use the zone label, use the text/autotext and insert autotext like related zone name and measured net area. It will export as MText with correct appearance.

Coming into this late but still appears to be an issue. All our labels align left when exported to DWG when we want to retain both paper and model space as part of the DWG export. This occurs to the extent that some labels move outside of the frame where they require one.

We were dealing with this with one client on our support in Czechia. Were sending it to Graphisoft and it is a known DEF.
Unfortunately it's quite complicated to fix.

Here is a screenshot what works and what does not.

Thanks for sending through. Basic Text/Autotext labels we can play with some settings and if we're just typing in what is displayed we can get that to work. ID Labels for doors, windows seem to be default left align.

Using Autotext in a standard text label seems like a good alternative to the Zone Label. You can retreive all of the same information with it as long as you do not need any formating changes or a divided frame.
