annotation transfer to Autocad...only in plan?

[grant_PD]

I've just done some minor testing of exporting to dwg files. It seems that the only way I can get the dimensions and annotations to show up is if the viewport is in Top/plan mode. Please tell me it isn't so.

Funky.

I'm having to rework my entire process for this project. Healthy, I know, to stretch one's horizons. Unfortunate, however, that there is no real documentation on what goes on in the conversion process.

Grant, here's a little quirk I discovered:

If you set an iso view via the viewport info on the OIP your design layer text and dimensions disappear. Viewport annotations remain. NONE however export.

If you edit the viewport, use the flyover tool to set your view, the design layer dims will stay and rotate but design layer text disappears. Viewport annotations remain. ALL export, including the design layer text that is no longer visible in the viewport.

If you want an Iso, instead of going from top plan to the iso in the OIP, first rotate with the flyover tool. After that you can use the OIP to set it to iso and the dims will remain and export.

Wacked!
