.idw to .dwg problem

When I try to convert ( Save as )an .idw to .dwg the .bmp logo, and all promted values disappears from the titleblock.
Have anybody else experienced this ??

I do not know a workaround, unfortunately.
Mabe someone else knows... I'll keep looking.

I found the "same" but "different" problem with the promted entries. I not only noticed that all "promted enties" were missing from some of the dwg's, but now found the following:
1. Copied with D.A. "123.idw" to "456.idw".
2. Edited "promted values" in "456.idw" title block.
3. Saved, released, & converted to dwg few week later.
4. "456.dwg" title block has "123.idw" information.
I posted the .idw to CF under post (Missing/incorrect "promted entries" converting to DWG)
http://discussion.autodesk.com/WebX?14@250.uiI9a6g1oYn.1@.ee940b5

Could someone else try to "Save Copy As" to dwg and see if they get different title block entries too?
I talked to my VAR, and he suggested "open the edit promted entries dialog box on the idw to 'refresh' before converting"....but than didn't work for me.

I've had similar problems with
converting.

 

Sorry I can't give any insight as to why this
happens, I'm anxiously awaiting any answers.

I don't have any problem with prompted values or model properties. My notes seem to scale up once in a while. I don't have any bmp's in my title block....All my views and anotations come in just fine.

My VAR talked to Autodesk about this today...they said it is a known bug, and it will be fixed in the next service pack "soon". As a temporary fix, if you "edit definition" on the title block, do not make any changes, exit, and click "YES" when asked to save changes, it somehow "re-aligns the stars", and the promted entries will export correctly.
