Structural grid text not exporting to AutoCAD properly

Anonymous
Not applicable
We're trying to export the gridlines for our architectural backgrounds, but only the text on one end of the gridline is exporting (the text in the opposing bubble doesn't export). We've tried exploding the .gsm part, but this looses it's associativity. Any suggestions..... the .gsm library part in question is attached via .zip (this is a library part we created in-house)

Thanks,

Which font?

Is the text on the other side mirrored or is the object mirrored?

The font is Futura. The grid line looks something like this; (A)-------(A) where there should be text in both bubbles, but it is only exporting and showing up in one of the bubbles. I've tried changing the GDL script of the bubble and text as well as all of the different .dwg translator options, but none seems to make any difference. Any thoughts.....?

Did you try using the supplied Structural Grid (Tools/Structural grid)? Is the problem repeating itself?
