Lettering

I have imported a logo into Inventor to apply to my part but i noticed that lettering wasn't accurate because Inventor used a Spline to follow the points of the text. Someone told me that i have to use poly lines not a spine but I can't find a way to do that. Can someone help me with this?

Maybe i just imported it wrong. The original file was in DXF format.
The DXF file is attached along with the inventor2009 part.

To the best of my knowledge, DXF doesn't support Splines or Polylines.

With title blocks and in particular it is best to recreate them in Inv
without using BMP files but do use Windows fonts.

This is an old article and somethings have changed, but the basics still
seem to hold true.
