Re: Intellicad-Autocad compatibility

So it appears that it is a Progecad problem? When you viewed it, were 
the text items aligned in a single row or were they in various locations 
on the page with all having their own y coordinate, being adjacent to 
lines in the rtrusstc layer? When I use Progecad I get all the text, but 
the y-coord becomes the same for all text in the inserted dxf.
