Import of 2d dwg causes gdl error

Hi,

A customer of mine has a problem with a block in a dwg-file that when upon being imported (translator set to "translate autocad blocks" to library parts) creates a gdl object contatining a parameter named TEXT which is not allowed according the GDL syntax. I can fix it myself really easy by changing the 2D script but hey, I can't expect my customers to know how to do that.
Any hints/solutions?
Choosing to import the blocks as "Grouped 2D elements" is visibly OK but I don't get the objects which I want...
Cheers,
Mats

No way that I know of. I've had the same thing happen with a parameter automatically created with the name MODEL, also a GDL keyword and so an error. Only option now AFAIK, is to manually edit the parameter list and script. I've been meaning to report this as a bug in the translation routines...

Thanx Karl! I suspected there was nothing to do. We'll do a work around.
