Can anyone help me???

When I save an Archicad 11 file as a DWG and try to open it in POWERCADD 7 the text is huge. What can I do to fix this??

Guess: Check the that the dwgunit is correct on both sides. Set the scale on the PowerCadd side to the same as you had in Archicad.

You could check your DWG with some other DWG-reading program (like Autocad) to determine where the blame lies. There are free DWG readers on MacOSX. (Do a search in this forum) But you could check it by opening ti in Archicad too!
I have a feeling this is a Powercadd issue. If the drawing unit and the scale is set similarly on both sides, I've never heard of a text sizing problem in DWG conversionbetween Autocad and Archicad.
