Can you show an image of what you mean by stretched, and what it looks like after importing.

Where would we be without sat-nav?

Thanks for reply, sorry for my bad english.
I tried to make some printscreens to explain what I mean.
First, the text attribute in my block in autocad:
This text is fitted using the option below in block properties:
And this is the way that Solid Edge imports the same file:

If that specific text in ACad is a different font to the other text you should be able to map it to a narrow font in Solid Edge eg. Arial Narrow. It might then just fit in the box. That would then work for converting from ACad.
Other than that you can change the aspect ratio of the text in Solid Edge:- RMB on the text > Properties > Paragraph > Aspect Ratio.
Try setting it to 0.7, that should give roughly the same scaling, but it will depend how the fonts are mapped.
This needs to be done manually, there is no automatic way when importing.

Thanks for the reply, will be helpful.
But actually, in this case, I'm working with a text within a block, which does not have the same configuration options of a single text.
In the properties block, as much as in the block editor, I can not change the aspect ratio of a text.

In Solid Edge double-click the block to open it, then you can modify the text roperties, just the same as any other text.
