Inventor-Created Drawing Border Help!!!

Hi, 

 

I'm having real difficulties getting my drawing borders to work between Inventor and AutoCAD. I am using Product Design Suite 2012.

 

I have created a drawing border using Inventor, which is the template for any drawings I produce. I often export the Inventor drawings into AutoCAD 2007 dwg's to send to customers. However, it seems all the text goes up the creek after the export...

 

When I open the exported AutoCAD drawing, first I explode the drawing border. Then, if I scale the border from within AutoCAD, none of the text wants to scale up. - I've attached the border for anyone to look at. I've tried several different ways to fix it using text styles, heights (setting to 0) etc and still no luck!

 

Anyone got any idea how to fix the text scaling?!

 

Thanks for any help!

In AutoCAD I edited one of you Mtexts and copied text and pasted back in.

This changed the switches and parameters of the contents.

Something in there is stopping the scaling.

After pasting in, the text then scales.

I haven't a clue how to fix it but it may be a starting point for you, see image for the differences of the text properties.

Bit of an arse if you have to go through all texts and copy and paste.

Maybe match properties will do the trick.

Hope this helps.
