MTEXT in dxf
MTEXT in dxf
(OP)
I hope someone can help me with the dxf specification and requirements. I'm trying to use an MTEXT entity in a "manually" created dxf file. I have no problem with other basic entites (LINE, CIRCLE, TEXT, ...) but there seems to be some undocumented requirement(s) for MTEXT. I'm not using HEADER, CLASSES, TABLES, or anything that isn't required for basic entities mentioned above. Following is an example (which works fine as TEXT entity).
Thanks for your help.

RE: MTEXT in dxf
I've tried to sort out the "extra" stuff before, but even with a simple LINE entity I found that you can't delete just some of it. Apparently the "extra" stuff isn't really extra; at least some of it is required.
Perhaps if I knew exactly what the minimum requirements are.
