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?
