Zone not translating

Hi all,

We are using Zone Identifier 2 17. When I export a DWG the font used in the zone do not translate, they just default to Autocad's 'standard' style and I can't get them to do anything otherwise.

We didn't have this problem in version 16, using Zone Identifier 2 16... just for kicks I saved the file back down to 16 and exported that and - voila - the zone text appeared in the DWG just like it should be! Any thoughts as to how I can get it to work in 17?

Thanks!

Bill

PS Having same issue with the text in the column grid bubbles, but the v16 trick didn't help that one

Do you have Font-style conversion rules defined in the DXF-DWG Translation Setup Dialog to handle this conversion?

I never did before and it always worked...so I tried to set them up but it didn't resolve it - it always changes to the same autocad don't style. It also changes the size and location but it doesn't do that for labels or text or section tags, those all translate fine.
