We are an A/E firm that runs Archicad for architecture and Autocad for our engineering. I am familiar in running translations but am having a problem with some of my objects.
When saving out to Autocad, objects with text assigned in the GDL code come in correctly, but any variable text entered in the parameters window is coming into the autocad drawing in a different location. Is there a way to fix this with my code or a translation suggestion?

I like the idea of the Autocad block but am unsure of how to do this. Do I need to create a block with the same name and use it in a template to carry this information across in translation?

I have used the objects in 6.5 (our current version in use) and the text came in to the correct location but did not update the properties to by-layer.
