Missing Details in 2D IGES & DXF exported files

Missing Details in 2D IGES & DXF exported files

Missing Details in 2D IGES & DXF exported files

(OP)
When exporting a drawing to either 2D IGES or DXF formats notes & symbols are not included in the exported file

This applies to 'Cut & Paste', 'Import-Linked' & 'Import-Unlinked' items such as Word, Excel & other dft files

When the DXF or IGES file is created, then imported either back into Solid Edge or into Pro/E the geometry & dimensions are there but none of the Imported or Pasted details

Is this the norm? if so how can you create a table on a drawing that will export other than to draw it line by line?

Running Version 12 at the moment

Anyone any ideas?
