Thanks Petri
I am a Civil Engineer(static-dynamic analysis on buildings) (34yrs) and after six months of work I have discovered a method of transferring CAD files only (no matter the operating system..mac 8.6 Mac-osx win98 xp etc...) in which the TEXTS and HATCHES cannot be altered.
This means that you can TRANSLATE a GREEK text CAD drawing on MAC to a German Text CAD drawing in Windows XP in AutoCad without MESSING UP anything.
So, far only CLARIS CAD is efficient in this chain of producing these CAD drawings.
The problem is that VECTORWORKS which is newer and better didn't think of putting this VECTOR-PICT routine so we can send our drawings anywhere!
