MicroStation 08.11.09.357 Why does saving DWG to DGN move dim text outside dim lines

When I save from DWG to DGN it moves the text outside the dim lines.

I’m unclear if this is a textstyle issue or dim style issue (since dim styles get their text from textstyles).

 

Opening the DWG in V8i (08.11.09.357) shows this (correct)

 

 

When I do File-SaveAs V8 format (incorrect)

 

 

  • my screenshots didn't make it into my post - attached is the Word doc showing the issue.

     

  • I suggest you repost this in the File Formats forum

    You are much more likely to get your answers there.

  • I saw the picture in the original post and it looked like the text size is larger for one, which inferres a Text Style difference. Text may be set to automatically reposition (FIT) the text between arrowheads. You need to attach a sample file that shows the issue. Please include the M-Sta version you are using and what ver of ACAD file you are working with for anyone to help.

  • Thanks George, I re-posted in the File Formats forum.
  • George,

    Dwg is autocad 2000, MSta is 08.11.09.357

    The text size is the same, my screen captures are not same scale. it looked correct until I SaveAs DGN then it jumped outside of the dim lines.
