Good morning all,I'm trying to export long sections from MX to AutoCAD but I'm gettinginconsistent results. If I export a multi-paged long section, all the texts aremtext but when I export a single page long section, all the text are plain text.I prefer to have all the texts exported from multi-paged long sections as plaintext. Does anyone know how to do this. Thanks.Long sections are created using input files which worked before I upgraded tothe latest version of MX.Bentley MXROAD V8i (SELECT series 2) Build Number: 08.11.07.427Windows 7 Enterprise Service Pack 1AutoCAD 2010Regards,Boyd
Hello,
I don't know the internal MX mechanism for CAD export :( but I suggest to export as multi-paged than in AutoCAD "Quick Select -> MText -> Select all" and than explode :)

Aleksander,
Thanks for the reply. That's already the procedure I'm doing. What I'm really after is a switch or option in MX to export all the texts in plain text, not mtext. I was hoping that someone from Bentley can give me an answer.

Boyd
Hi Boyd
I've had a look at the text export in the current release of MX v8i, version 08.11.07.494, and on this version when exporting to a DWG the all text is now set to export as MTEXT. This change was requested by another user due to MTEXT being more flexible then plain TEXT when amending and updating the text.
If you feel that there is a need to have the option to select which type of text (MTEXT or plain TEXT) when exporting to DWG let me know and I'll log a feature request for this.
I'll need some information from you as I'll have to create a service ticket for this issue, the info I require is listed below.

Hi Jason,
Thanks for the clarification. I do need the option to export in plain text as we already have existing batch routine scripts to clean up and modify the mx output to the company standard (layer, colours, text styles, etc). As a workaround, I've created a script to convert the mtext to plain text so that our batch routines work.
I'd appreciate it if you can create a service ticket for this issue.
