Callout Style wont apply to translated .dxf file

Callout Style wont apply to translated .dxf file

(OP)
I am learning Solid Edge 2d for my business.  I have drawings with callouts in .dft format that look just how I want.  I bring the arrows down to .5 size - but for some reason, when I save the document as .dxf and open it, the callouts are in the wrong position, and just ONE of the arrows is .5 - no matter how many times I change it, it will not apply it.  Any tips?

I am using SE to open it up.  

So this is normal?  When someone opens it in AutoCAD will they view it properly?

Thanks very much!  That works very well.  I appreciate your help.

Solid Edge can Save As Drafts to PDF as well... ST4 can save 3D models to PDF.
