ViaCad v9
When I import some DWGs I get unwanted dimension info that shows in the drawing in a very large font.
This dimensioning info does not show in any other Cad program or Viewer that I've opened it with.
I have attached pictures of the result I get and the way it should look.
Thanks for any guidance. Regards, Tom

Hi Tom
We have made the updates below to support your DWG file.
--Updated text and dimension attribute scaling when inserted as part of a scaled block
--Provide support for a block where elements of the block are in different layers
--Correction for DWG text objects with one character
--Updated Concept Explorer and drawing code for objects in a block with different layers

It looks like the graphic symbol for the company logo is an OLE graphic object which we do not support.

These changes will be in the next beta build (1195).

Many thanks for sending the file! Before your example file, I was not aware elements in blocks could be in separate layers.

Tim
