Viewport and Labels Outline in Autocad

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi

When exporting to DWG and opening in AutoCAD, viewports and labels appeared outlined.

Is there any configuration that can avoid this that I'm missing.

Thanks.

In translator try Custom Functions > Save Extras > ArchiCAD labels to leaders > Convert Labels to Leaders

My labels (without outlines) do no appear with outlines.

That worked for label outlines, but not for viewport outlines....also label get screwed...the line mirrors itself leaving text unconnected to the label...any ideas

To be honest, I ship off the DWGs with a PDF for printing purposes. The DWG is just there to communicate the vectors/linework to the 3rd parties stuck in the 2D CAD stoneage I do not worry too much about the text alligning, size, etc

I don't have lines around viewports (that I'm aware of), but I pretty much stick to the out-of-the-box translator shipped with the Dutch template. It's been set up to comply with standards for pen-sets, linetypes and such, so most 2D CAD offices having to work with it, should be familiar with the set up.
