[caruana]

Hi
I am trying to do a save as on a Catia V4 drawing to a dxf but the resulting dxf file is coming without any text, can you please help?
Thanks

This is what I have done to generate DXF from V4.
1.) Plot to a HPGL file. (this will generate a catout.hpgl)
2.) on a PC convert HPGL to DXF using a converter that can be downloaded here

If you need a HPGL plotter config file, let me know.

Try to save Catia file to igs format. And import igesin into AutoCad.

Hi,

Are you saving directly from v4 with CATDXF command or are you opening in v5 and save as dxf ?

When I exported to iges I had the same result as when I exported to dxf.
I am creating the dxf directly from the V4.
I will try the hpgl option as rickyt suggested.
Thanks for your replies.
