Import Site Survey to VW 2008 Architect - Losing text

[rebecca21]

I have imported a .dwg from a land survey company in VW Architect 2008. I lose the spot elevations text and contour line text each time I import. The spot circles and contour lines are there, but the accompanying text is lost. I've tried countless things rescaling, importing as layers instead of classes, isolating classes but they text never appears. I use DWG TrueView to look at the .dwg file and the text is shown on the document. Any suggestions?

I've solved my own problem. Using the "Import Single DXF/DWG File", under 2D/3D Conversion there is a warning stating "Some of the text objects in this file will be deleted to keep symbols from becoming hybrid. Consider using All 2D option instead". I used the All 2D option and the text finally imported properly.

You are so awesome! I was having trouble with the same thing. "All 2D" option worked for me too.

Thanks.

OMG! thank you soooo much! you answering your own question has saved my ass.

If you use this ALL 2D option while importing the land survey DWG file, do you still lose the spot elevations?

When I import the 3D land surveying DWG files I never get the z value or elevation in the symbols, anybody can tell me how set up VW09 to import correctly the spot elevation symbols YXZ coordinates?
