Imported AutoCAd in Revit - text problem - letter spacing and line break

[VicBerg]

Hi, 

I imported a dwg from Autocad to Revit and the text in Revit shows with wrong letter spacing and line break. If I in AutoCAD change from MTXT to  TXT the line break works correct but the TXT cant handle a letter spacing/ribbon.spinner-tracking. To solve that I changed the TXT back to a MTXT (one row) and put the letter spacing back to the correct value of 0.850. But the problem with letter spacing is still the same in Revit where its wider. Is there a solution to this?

Kind regards, Victor

The platforms treat text differently. Images would be helpful.

How dramatic is the difference?  For me, the difference is barely perceptible. Sure, if I zoom in tight and overlap the two texts, I can see the slight difference in letter-spacing/tracking, but at a "normal" range, it looks and prints near identically.

Brilliant! I don't know if you are being sarcastic or not but that is a rather poor example of what you are seeing.

No.  Revit cannot handle user modified character spacing and line spacing from CAD imports.
