Hi @bionorica2015. You may have to explain the task in more detail. What is this for? Are you planning on engraving the text into something using CAM software and a CNC machine? Usually when exporting a DXF from Inventor, the source object is either an Inventor Drawing file (.idw or .dwg), or the Flat Pattern of a Sheet Metal Part, or the profile geometry of a selected face in a part model. What will the source object be in this case? Will there be anything else present within the DXF file other than this text, like maybe the borders of a plate of material, or something similar? Do you need the text to be 'vectorized' into geometry, instead of left as regular text. I understand that the content of the text will be a part number. Do you want the part number value to be extracted from an iProperty in a document, or will you want the code to prompt the user to type in some text, or will the text already exist somewhere?

Yes, you found my aim, I want to engraveevent on metal

Text will be part number

Text have to be put on empty area of part inside dxf, inside the part shape, must not be overlayed on any geometric figure of part.
